I am a Painter
Over the years I have came in contact with many mediums to express myself in. As said, I am a self taught artists and the bit of tutoring I got was basically an introduction to Watercolor painting and silkscreen printing. I did various pieces in watercolor and it sold well, but the medium was not completely what I wanted. My father used to paint in oil paint, but he stopped long before I became interested in art. I still have some of his work. As he was a carpenter, I was later more involved in designing woodwork carving designs for him.
Acrylic is the medium I fell in love with because of its brilliant, clean colors that is fast drying, so I can finish a painting in a day or two. If I want it to be a bit slow drying, I can make use of the various substances that will give me a typical oil paint feeling. Because I'm an impatient painter and want to finish a painting in one day, Acrylic is the best for me. I also prefer the apique color that will give me fast coverage and not need to do lyers a lot. If I want to, I can thin it to give me a watercolor feel and effect if needed.
I'm so grateful for Prime Cut Restaurant in Rayton, where some of my paintings are hanging.
I use different mediums to paint with, and will use any medium and color pigment to achieve the end result I want, even food coloring or natural charcoal. I paint what I feel is right for that specific moment and emotion in my life. Below is a painting I did with food coloring and was done in a time that I had nothing better to express myself with. The colors is still as bright as the day I painted it.
Below is one of my first paintings I did with Acrylic paint. I paint on different backgrounds, may it be prepared canvases, hardboard, paper, or whatever I can lay my hands on and each techniques is seen on the material it suits the best.
Art classes
I had the opportunity to be able to give art classes too. The I gave classes to the children, was somewhat informal and usually over school holidays. Below is some of my students busy with their art.
