Acrylics

Most of my art is created using acrylic. I started working in this medium in May 2014 encouraged by a dear friend Cyril Thomas. Inspirations for many of my earlier acrylics include Kevin Hill who actually mainly paints in oils providing helpful commentary and Victor Yushkevich whose landscapes are magnificent and videos are amazingly complete but provide no dialogue. The advantages of quick drying and use of water rather than smelly solvents are well documented. As I have matured as an artist I have found I am moving more towards watercolour and oils. Most of my pieces are originals from either En Plain Air work or photographs that I have taken. However, some are my versions of other artists/photographers work either from online images or video tutorials. In all such cases I have tried to gain permission and attribution where required.
