What a lovely gesture. Wonderful painting Shaun.

I know you use acrylics, but is this an acrylic painting? It looks like a pastel, but I'd really like to know what brand of paint you're using if it's acrylic - the colour is wonderful.

Thank you, Heather and Denise. Robert I start by using oil pastels, I then use turps to create a ‘wash’ effect. I use acrylic paint,(Senelier), for some of the colours because I don’t have the range of tones I need and I finally use some of the oil pastels for the details. I am in Cyprus at the moment and I have adopted this technique because of the heat.

A lovely rendition of light, colour and shadows Shaun. I particularly admire the red blooms amongst the lush foliage.

This is absolutely stunning Shaun. I’m sure the lady who owned the garden was as impressed as I am.

This door is one of the most photographed in Cyprus. The lady who owns the property and is aware that I am an artist, invited me into her garden to paint it from the other side.

About the Artist

Shaun Byatt

I try to achieve vibrant colours in my paintings. I work intuitively with large flat brushes - I also try not to overwork my pictures and they are often completed in two sittings. I use good quality acrylics because of their excellent pigment content. I like to interpret what i see in front of me…
