Bo, I underpaint with thin acrylics (quick drying), then continue in oils. Large areas eg sky sea and grass are applied with a brush. The rocks are built up more gradually with a painting knife. I add a quick drying medium which helps the initial drying of the thick paint, then overlay a different colour if needed. The spherical 'bushes' are again initially worked with brush, then a sort of stippling application of colour with some added texture medium. I hope this gives you some idea. Best wishes, Duncan.

Wonderful. I just love your whole gallery which I was led to through today's posting (which I like too)

good work I felt like getting the paints out last time I visited the gower after seeing Your work today I may just do so Your use of tone and colour is inspiring Thankyou for sharing it RJH

Sian and Robert, thanks for your positive comments, I am pleased you like this painting. Robert, all I can say is once you get your paints out I will look out for your contribution to this great site. Best wishes, Duncan.
