About Karen Spence

 
 
  • Biography
    What I love about painting is catching the light whether it be a reflection or contrast of light and shade. There is a great joy in adding the final highlights when the painting comes alive. 

    When doing a landscape I like to use ink and watercolours. I particularly enjoy the challenge of perspective, living in Italy in for a number of years gave me a love of old buildings with "wonky" walls and domes. 

    I use oils for still life, nature and portraits and I love the slow process of building the picture, of blending and layering to get the end result.
