Original artwork description:

We visited Costa Rica earlier this year and I found it so inspiring that I have been working on a series of jungle pieces since then. We stayed in an apartment in the middle of the jungle and each window seemed to offer an amazing vignette - this is what I have have tried to recreate here, a jungle view. I made watercolour sketches and took many photos whilst out there and then painted the final canvas in my studio on London.

I have used a linen canvas which I primed with a yellow base and built up with my usual Michael Harding paints. The big challenge here was trying to capture all the different greens. Also the light in the jungle seems to pierce and illuminate some areas whilst leaving shadows deep in darkness. I really enjoyed painting this! It is framed in an off white suspension frame.

Materials used:

Oil on linen canvas

Colour is the my main motivation for painting. I often spend up to an hour mixing paint before I touch the canvas. For me, each brushstroke needs to be deliberate.... Read more
