For Thalia

Comments

A huge THANK YOU Barry! Looks great, the point about my painting however was that it was very early morning and the tables were waiting!

As I had asked permission to have a go at this scene painted by Thalia I thought I should get on with it. I suggested putting in some people and have painted my version with them present. I have not managed to recreate that lovely glow that Thalia achieved and it’s a bit scruffy due to poor application in my first washes which has resulted in me not reserving enough white paper and the need to use white gouache for highlighting.

I started painting in 2004, I am influenced by Wesson, Seago and many of the great masters, more recently I enjoy the work of Steve Hall, John Hoar and Alvaro Castignet to name but a few. I paint in a loose style and try to simplify as I can. The medium I enjoy most is watercolour but dabble with…
