The first step is an Idea… “Daydreaming”

A wooden Board is cut to the specified size, coated with “Gesso” and sanded. The process is repeated a number of times.

Oil paints and sable brushes are used to paint a complete background.

After the first coat has dried, another layer is applied; a story starts to appear images come to life.
The painting evolves and changes; it is finished when it “feels right”

Painting in layers allows me to change the painting as I go without having to be bound by a planed scheme.

Completing a painting takes anywhere between a month and years.

Once dry, the finished painting is varnished to protects and enhance the colors
