Pretty bad photo. In reality the biscuits do appear to come out of the surface (maybe I should re-do this one).

Cutting Edge

18 x 24 cms, oil on linen panel
FOR SALE

It's been a hard few months (well, 12 months actually). With my dad being in hospital 5 times and then ill at home most of the rest of the time it's been tough trying to focus on my painting and I got into a bit of an inspirational block.
So, please forgive that some of the following posts are variations on some older themes as I was also trying out some new linen panels and wanted to get stuck in right away. The panels are great by the way.
I am going to try and post some close up details later on as some people have referred to me as a photo realist painter but I just consider myself a realist. I hope the details will show that I don't try and paint every pore on a lemon, for example.


Thanks for being patient with this erratic poster :-)

Yes, it's been a long time since I posted. I did have some commissions that I haven't posted because they are similar to others that I have posted before (lemons are still very popular ;-).

I should have three or four others finished shortly so I hope to post them soon.

I had meant to try a grey under painting (grisaille) for a long time so I thought I'd share how I went about it with this little study (I did the grisaille in acrylic). I can't really say if it improved my work flow but it did help to get the form blocked in a lot quicker (I'm a slow worker so it was never going to really speed me up, which is what I'd like ideally!).

The left half has been 'oiled out'. This is where you paint a very thin coat of medium over the painting the next day to bring the colours back to how they looked when you first painted them (they can dry dull, chalkly and lifeless - as you can see on the right). It's great to work into this wet layer too and it helps to blend it with the layer below.
