Primrose

Good afternoon. I’m running around today like an idiot trying to pack for a painting trip to France tomorrow but thought I’d stop to post. I thought you’d like to see my working process so here’s a few snapshots of the stages (scroll down to see). I know a lot of you also paint so think it’s good to share. For this piece I used the following palette: Cad yellow/lemon/raw umber/yellow ochre/french ultramarine/titanium white and for the background, unbleached titanium and a bit of Kings Blue. Brushes used are Shiraz series by Rosemary & Co and painted on a Gaerstakker canvas board because I’ve got too busy to be prepping boards!!
You’ll see that I only draw in the subject quickly at the start but can make adjustments as I go along. Hope this is of interest and you’re not yawning your socks off! Will hopefully post from France and show you what I’m up to………so exciting!

It’s Friday!! Nearly Easter so I shall be heading north next week for a family visit, taking some friends, walking, scoffing and a bit of painting thrown in if I have my way.
I’ve been working on gallery work but last week I had a great workshop with a lovely group over three days! Exhausting but fun and they did some great work. Here’s my effort which I made as a demo for them. I’ve been working on my next little one and taking progress shots so hoping to give you a bit of an insight into how I work but in the meantime, here’s a little fruit cocktail for you. Have a wonderful Easter!
