Sunday Sunrise III

NEW Abstract works
Sunday Sunrise

I love abstract watercolour works and, over the past few months, I've been giving myself more time to play and come up with some new techniques specifically for working abstract in watercolour. I'm really pleased with the results, the first of which will be on display at Art Showcase.

Sukhumvit Style
Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok

available from Gallery Artisans from 26 April

I thoroughly enjoyed painting Sukhumvit Style, nice and loose with loads of water and plenty of pigment slapped all over. i had a definite vision of a building with lovely blue canopy awnings over the windows, trying to force myself to remember what i'd seen as i was cruising up the Chao Phraya River. However, as is often the case, i remembered it quite differently from the real building ... hopefully it's just that i was looking at this building as we were sailing past so i saw it from many angles - or maybe i'm am nuts? Apart from that I knew I'd taken photos but hadn't been able to download and check them out. all good, although i painted it on the street, will be creating some versions of the the river soon, do come back for a look see later.

paintings with only the
best artist quality materials

Quality Guarantee: All my watercolours are painted with Winsor & Newton's most durable lightfast pigments. With the longevity of the premium quality watercolour paints I use, your painting will become a family heirloom and passed down to subsequent generations. If properly cared for, watercolour paintings will last as long, if not longer, than oil paintings. I only paint on 100% cotton rag paper, mostly Arches and Fabriano, and frame to conservation standard with acid free materials.
