Time to go

Time to go. Two figures leaving a beach as evening draws in. An oil study on paper using impasto gel for heavy textural effects. The gel sets up very quickly and I would normally use a sturdier support such as a panel, when putting down heavy impasto, to avoid the possibility of any cracking in the future.

A pair

A pair, two apples. I very occasionally paint a still life and this simple composition was the result. Palette knife impasto on Arches oil paper.

A five minute study

A five minute oil study of a landscape. Oil on paper using a limited palette, ultramarine blue, cad yellow, titanium white and touch of permanent rose., A simple little composition to loosen up before or after more serious painting.
