  • Skin palette

    Skin palette

    Thought I would introduce my skin palette to you...every artist is different, but these are the same colours that I always use for skin, without deviation and always squeezed out in this order. Regardless of the subject's skin tone, all of these colours will feature. From top left to right... bright red, cadmium orange, burnt umber, raw umber, purple lake, Prussian blue, phthalo turquoise, yellow ochre, pale rose blush, Naples yellow, Payne's grey, black, white.

    Making the most of my gorgeous boy being at home after Uni. I enjoy detailed studies of faces, although on a small canvas, the face is a great large scale.

    Robert in progress

    Small scale portrait of Robert Smith that I started today. I like these small canvases, they make great little products on deep edge canvas with the edges painted, neat and tidy, and small enough to fill a little empty space. 30 x 30cm.

    Portion of a very small commissioned portrait, varnished and ready to go. Small scale paintings are very reasonably priced and cheap to ship. Affordable original art.

    I painted this lovely mum to be towards the end of her pregnancy to capture a precious moment, and she has kindly sent me this image, beautiful baby boy in her arms, in front of her portrait. Portraits can capture special times. If you are considering a commission, it is a simple process and can easily be arranged via Artfinder or with me directly.

    Good morning from the studio

    I don't generally post images of myself on my work pages...I'm no oil painting!, but just thought I'd say hello from cold sunny Cornwall 🌞

    Mother oil on canvas 50 x 50cm

    Commissions capture a precious moment. I had arranged for this sitting to be towards the end of pregnancy so as to maximize the bump, and actually, baby arrived a week early...that was close! Is there a precious moment in time that you would like captured as a piece of original art?, if you have an idea that you would like to discuss, please feel free to do so either via Artfinder or with me directly via my website.

    Ukraine charity auction

    Ukraine charity auction

    My Zelensky portrait did well at the Sunflowers For Freedom charity auction last night in Plymouth. ... he went for £750 and is only 30 x 30cm. Very pleased with that...what a fabulous cause.

    Bowie in progress

    Bowie, along with Vivienne Westwood is someone that I cannot resist.. so, yes... another one. There's no such thing as too much Bowie. Are you a super fan of someone, or do you know anyone that is? Why not commission a portrait for a special gift- to someone else or to yourself! Commissions are simple to arrange, either directly via my website, or through Artfinder.
