mixed media

When I was at art college I learnt a technique using gouache and indian ink.  Years later I rediscovered it and have found the process suits landscapes.  It involves the right amount of randomness in the mark making which is essential for a painting to have life.  Many of these works are of the signature hills around Warminster in Wiltshire which have hillforts, tumuli and strip lynchets.  Quite a few of the paintings have mounted, unlimited edition prints available. 

Layered landscapes from collages take time to settle – play then walk away.  The returning makes adjustments before balance is found.
