The Bare Handed Artist

I paint wet on wet (Alla Prima) with luscious oils directly onto the canvas with my hands, to capture the raw energetic movement of atmospheric skies, grounding the luminosity with expressive palette knife work.

The way I paint is to clear a way through all those ideas and possibilities that swim around and take over, I shut my mind down, let everything go, say “what could possibly go wrong,” put my hands on the canvas and just do!

If you follow me on Instagram you will see my reels showing just how I paint, it is fast, it’s chucking colours together, getting a surprise, having a little dance and then I stand back and take it all in.
