Process
In the studio
How the work is made, and what it is made of.
- 01
On site
Weeks of drawing in one place, in whatever weather it offers. Charcoal, chalk and damp paper. Nothing is decided yet.
- 02
The ground
Linen or board is prepared and given a warm ground. The colour of that ground decides most of what happens afterwards.
- 03
Building
Several paintings are in the room at once, over months. The last one usually changes the first, which is why none are sold until a series closes.
- 04
Leaving it
A painting is turned to the wall for a month before it is called finished. About one in five comes back off the wall and starts again.
