 Acrylic Paintings

My favourite medium to use are acrylics. Perfect for my bold colourful works. I try not to get bogged down with detail as I feel it brings life and movement to my pictures
​
I use Golden Heavy Body acrylic paints and use only Primary Magenta, Primary Cian and Primary Yellow(plus Mars Black and Titanium White). Which I feel gives me the full spectrum I can mix myself
Pastel Paintings

​

My most popular medium for portrait commissions, I spend a lot more time on the details and find pastels lend themselves really well to fur textures
​
I use a mixture of brands as I like different qualities from each. I generally add the fine details with Faber Castell Pastel Pencils
​
My favourite surfaces are the sanded cards from Canson : Mi-Teintes
Oil Paintings
​
I love working with oils and although they are, for me, the most time consuming, I feel I get my best results with portraits of people, and can add as much or as little detail as I wish
​
I use Cobra Water Mixable Oils, as I don't like the strong fumes from the thinners needed from traditional oils. 
​
Similarly to my acrylics, I use only the primary colours (plus black and white) to mix a full spectrum
