The bulk of my work since my early days has been dominated by pen and ink, this technique allows for strong areas of contrast and fine details difficult with other media. Some of my more detailed pen and inks require thousands of individual pen strokes and can take 40-50 hours. It is further possible to introduce water colour to the base image to create a different effect. Enjoy my galleries the pen and ink work has a strong presence.
Some say that watercolour is one the hardest painting technique to master, the base paper the colours and the water itself have a great influence, but more than any of these it is the ability of the artist through experience to control and build the image. I often use water to compliment an existing pen & ink, you will see several of these in the galleries.
Since my first pen and ink drawing I also took huge pleasure in making model replica sailing boats. The detail of these boats meant that such projects could take more than 1 year! In the portfolio you will see some of my latest project which are small modelled boats created to sit inside a frame, each has its own theme and story with individual elements making them unique. Enjoy the galleries and be sure to look at the model boat creations.
