ABOUT MY PAINTING TECHNIQUE
I use acrylics for their flexible texture for a unique rendering.
Starting on gesso-primed canvas panels, using time-honored materials and techniques, I draw directly on the panel, loosely with charcoal, and create an underpainting (to place the light and shadows). Then I build the colours by layers (called layering) creating beautiful textures and slowly bringing the lightest area to life.
​
WHICH PHOTOS CAN WORK?
All types of photos! Photos need to be at least well-lit and clear enough to see details. If you aren’t sure, just send it to me, and I will let you know.
​
I can work using multiple photos, add or remove elements and create a bespoke background, what's important is that the painting translates how unique and meaningful it is for you or the person who will receive it.
​​
DELIVERY TIME
Once I receive a commission deposit of 20%, I provide you with that lead time - it takes about a month until delivery once I start your painting.
If you have a particular deadline, please let me know when you contact me first so I can accommodate you sooner.
