Flowers are one of my favourite subjects to paint due to the colours, forms and harmony of nature. Within my floral paintings I aim to capture the essence of the shapes and colours by simplifying what I see and subtracting details that I feel aren’t needed.
My starting point is always a few simple line drawings and from there I’ll proceed onto canvas or board using paint, with the subject in front of me for colour reference unless it’s a drawing I’ve made whilst out and about in which case I’ll rely on memory and notes.
