| Oil on 'Georgian' oil paper |
The beach scene was worked with a palette knife. The still
life was painted in layers 'thick over thin' after the design had been blocked in with pure acrylic colour. The
acrylic layer was both the foundation of the painting and also to seal the paper in preparation for the oils.
The mountains were painted in very thin layers of oil, starting
with a very diluted base to create the design and then being allowed to dry before starting the next layer. Finally,
texture was added to the foreground to create the grasses.
