New Works - In the studio

Here's a shot taken in my studio of some new paintings that I'm currently working on for a group show at Signal Gallery (London) taking place this September featuring myself and John Simpson, David LeFleming, Ian Hodgson, Sandro Kopp and John Clark

Process - Cept

In the last year or so I've had emails from people asking me about my painting techniques, the main questions seem to be around the overall appearance of my paintings, some people have described the surface of my work as having a 'unique' quality, and wanted to find out if this is down to the materials I use and how to I approach a new piece of work.

So rather than trying to explain in words, I have attached the below 'Stage by Stage' demonstartion from a painting I did in 2010 called 'Cept' aswell as the finished piece

Hope this helps give some insight into my working methods.
