MASTER PAINTERS OF THE WORLD

My inspiration often comes in quiet contemplation of a blank page in a sketchbook often with eyes closed. It’s spiritual for me; I like to think of the ideas generated as divine. Starting on a darker brown toned surface I gesture in a simple outline of the main masses. I then paint wet-on-wet making adjustments and corrections along the way, saving the details and highlights until the end. The main design element at work here is lighter objects set against a dark background creating a strong contrast.
