artist 23could destroy all the work you’ve already done, so
washes are basically not done in gouache work. You
can get round that by using an airbrush, or some dry
brushing. I use both of those techniques.
Over the years I have been fortunate enough to
win a number of awards and prizes. My first big
prize was in 1996 at the Camberwell Art Show,
where I won the Best Wildlife prize. I have now
won that prize three times. Another big event for
me was getting work selected in 2005 and 2006
for the prestigious “Arts for the Parks” exhibition in
Wyoming. Unfortunately, the 2006 show was the
final show. In more recent years, I was pleased to
have paintings accepted into the last three “Focus
on Nature” exhibitions at the New York State
Museum in Albany, New York.
My general approach to painting a subject is
to first create an underpainting that will allow me
to build a more detailed work over the top.
