Bright & colourful mixed media paintings
I've drawn these images with charcoal while looking at my reference, not at the canvas. I've loosely added colour to the drawing with oil paint.
I've always enjoyed drawing and painting faces and figures. I've explored various approaches to my paintings such as elongating the faces, layering them into the background and even combining the mixed media abstracts with the faces.

I have reproduced a selection of my work on Alu-dibond. (2 sheets of aluminum with a polystyrene core) with UV stable ink. I am thrilled with the play of light on the aluminum as well as the durability and lightweight quality of the pieces. The flexibility of placing these pieces indoor and out is a great bonus.
