Colour Mixing
Based on the creed of exploration and experimentation absorbed in the 60s revolution in Art Education, I discovered that mixing dioxazine purple with copper metallic paint plus, ultramarine and a dab of ochre acrylic produces the deep warm flesh tones perceived in people of colour. The highlights can be pink or cream and light blue to reflect natural light. Andrea (50cm x 60cm) - £375 (Not available yet but examples can be seen in Figure and Nude Studies)


Central Hall - Westminster
Right from my impressionable years, Monet has been a great influence especially on working from the motif (as he called it) but also the use of colour. Thus, I have become renowned for eschewing black. I discovered by mixing dioxazine purple and ultramarine with alizarine crimson with a touch of ochre one could render the intensity of dark colours and shadows. By adding titanium white in various amounts, one gets varying shades of grey (sic) – ideal for stone work. See other
