| I have been painting under the tutelage
of Nell Frysteen for 7 years now.
I work in watercolour and pastel. I love watercolour because it
is challenging and rewarding, watching the colour flow across the
paper; laying transparent colours over each other to create beautiful
luminescent depth that can’t be mixed on the palette.
My subject matter ranges from still life to landscapes which I
paint in great detail.
Pastel painting has given me a wider choice of subjects to paint;
it’s the opposite of watercolour but is more forgiving. I
am experimenting with new ways to use the pastels and the variety
of papers offer new ideas.
