Try this exercise, choose a photograph of any subject, not too large. Now turn it upside down and then try to draw exactly what you see before you, try to make an exact copy of the photograph, look for the shapes and angles dont let your brain tell you what the subject matter is about! When you have finished turn your drawing the right way up, I am sure you will be surprised at the outcome........ |
Little Tom
Tom is my youngest son, he was always into everything when he was younger and he had permanent cheeky grin on his face. The painting is finished in oil, the underpainting being acrylic, on hardboard, 26" x 26".
Acrylic paints are a water based medium but they dry very quickly, the good point is that they make you work faster, in other words you can not allow youself to get bogged down with too much detail at the start of your painting. This helps you to adopt a more fluid style.

Market Street.
When I was a kid I remember the police man who used to direct traffic, buses mainly, at the junction of Wallgate, Library St and Market St in Wigan. In fact Jacksons the tailors was the place where I bought my first three piece suit, made to measure. This painting is acrylic and oil on canvas, 36" x 24".
