MASTER PAINTERS OF THE WORLD
I love the richness of detail and the depth and diversity of colour that a flower offers when studied up close, and I like my paintings to be botanically accurate in order to reflect the beauty and intricacy of nature.
I put a lot of time into planning and preparation. I visit many gardens until I find my next subject and then spend some time sketching, getting to know the structure of the plant and its characteristics. When I have settled on a composition, I will colour match with my paints so it is accurate to the actual flower and then I take plenty of photos. I will refer to the photographs at a later stage for the detail, but I like to work as much as possible from the actual plant so that I get to know what is happening to the petal or leaf as it folds over or twists around the corner. is way I am able to get a more three-dimensional image and render the colour, tone and shadow more realistically.
