More Dogs on the way!

I am just awaiting a new batch of dog photographs which are being processed. This will give me another 30+ subjects to paint.

My Latest Dog Paintings

Here is one of my latest oil paintings, completed using a palette knife. Each of my pieces are unique and signed by myself. Each piece of art also comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

 

And another of my latest oil palette knife paintings.

This photograph shows one of my new pastel paintings. This will be added to my shop soon.

Summer and Autumnal Hues, musings about paints

This latest flower oil painting of mine really harks back to the warmth of summer, which is noticeable for its absence now that the temperature has dropped dramatically over the last few weeks....

This is a small oil study of a Degas portrait that I started last week. I might finish this one off, but because I want to really be painting another dog I have side-lined this one for the moment.....

Some of my most useful oil painting brushes..........

 

 So many beautiful colours to choose from . The rich reddish-brown colour directly below is one of my favourites. It is a red bias Burnt Sienna. I mix it with both Titanium White and Pip Seymour Royal Blue Light  to produce beautiful colour mixes. The light brown on the far right is a French Yellow Ochre. This is a Michael Harding paint. The quality of this paint is second to none, and this particular colour mixes splendidly with white and grey to produce some really useful colours.

OCTOBER NEWS

 I have just bought some new shades of Murano pastel fine art paper. It has a naturally textured surface and 45% cotton content to give it a classic, luxurious feel. The paper weighs 160gsm and I will be trialling this on some greyhound pastel paintings in the very near future. I have plenty of different shades of Unison soft pastels, which I use in conjunction with traditional graphite pencils, usually 2B or HB.........

.

Mentioning greyhounds, this grey and white rescue greyhound looks a particularly good subject.........

I have just received a new order of artist oil paints from my supplier, Jacksons of London and I have several news colours I haven't tried before, namely Cobalt Violet, Violet Grey and Pyrrole Orange...........

This is my folder of dog photographs. These particular ones show dogs I have already painted and the originals are available to purchase in my shop............

I have also a new supply of canvasses and my favourite watercolour paper....
