I’ve been really enjoying experimenting with new and more intense colours than I would usually use in my work. I absolutely love the intensity of watercolours when they’re layered up to really bring out the rich colours.
I spent a lot of time lately working on bringing texture and light to my work and hopefully it shows.
Watercolour is one of those fascinating mediums that just has a lift of its own. For years I was reluctant to really let it go, needing to hang on to control. That’s why digital painting suited me so well. Absolute control over the end result.
Recently, I’ve been finding a lot of joy in playing with washes of increasingly intense colour. Using texture, blends of inks and watercolours and other techniques to bring out the character of the piece.
I’m currently using a combination of Daniel Smith, Windsor and Newton and Prima paints, along with Windsor and Newton and Dr Ph Martin’s inks.

Rich and warm reds tonight. The first wash.
I’ve also began to list some of my original works for sale on here. This is a big thing for me as I’ve never sold any of my originals before. I tend to keep them to myself like my precious colourful babies. If you’d like to know more about the pieces I have for sale then please check out my store page.

Watching the colours blend and develop fast becomes an addiction.
