Heading to the Market

“I believe a good painting starts with strong drawing and observation skills. Accuracy with perspective and proportion is vital to convey reality which then allows artistic experimentation with composition.

An unusual viewpoint that draws the viewer into the narrative of the painting and holds their interest at a strong focal point. I use tone to convey depth and atmosphere and a limited but instinctive use of colour to bring verve and excitement to the artwork.” Ian
