My practice: I work from life and poses usually range from 5 to 30 minutes. This short time frame allows for little thinking; it encourages an immediate response to the model, guided by intuition. My practice could be described as a visual mediation. Recently I have been paintingM figures into natural environments. I study the drawing and imagine the figure amongst different natural forms eg water, rock, tree, mountain, forest. Once I’ve decided on the setting I begin adding gouache and watercolour organically (I just wait and see what the brush decides to do).
