The feathers are built up with many layers, using the finest of
brushes and coloured washes.

Oil Painting
Lead pencils, hard and soft,
with colour washes worked
beautifully together when I
painted my sleepy puppy.
You have to be careful when
using the two mediums, as
they can muddy when they
mix together.


    When I paint, it can take me months to complete a picture in watercolour. When I start a painting I really have no set idea of what I will do
    apart from the subject, and maybe the season.
    I spend quite a bit of time working on small studies throughout the year, which I will use for reference on later paintings. Water colour and
    pencil, with my notes on colour, dates and anything else I think of that might be useful at the time I painted them, even the colour mix I used.
    These are invaluable to me, along with photographs my husband, Ian, will take for me. When I work in oils, I will always do an under-painting.
    Get this right and the colour part is easy.
Springtime has a great
selection of blossom to paint.
Studies of seed
heads as they
ripen though out
the year.
A study of a beautiful
Dog Rose.
Different seeds painted
while on Safari for use
in later paintings.
