Exploring Values - Work in progress
Sometimes it's good to put away the colour for a day and work in monochrome. I find it's a great way to focus on mark making, explore values and just play and sketch without thinking about the outcome - all kinds of good things can happen when you least expect it!

'Stacked' Progress Video
See how this painting evolved. I photograph my work as I go, partly to do a value check here and there and partly so I can revisit decisions and see if I have made the right one in terms of moving the work forwards. And yes, sometimes I feel as though I'm going backwards, but I get there in the end!

'Over Rule' Progress Movie
This painting was the first in my new 'Distillation Series'. I was exploring a new way of working and pushing my work towards greater abstraction, trying to make landscape references more subtle and challenging myself to find new ways of 'seeing'.
