Plein air mindscape painting probably best encapsulates my approach to the abstractions I create.
Whilst it might sound pretentious, it’s the best way to describe my process, I feel.
I’ve been a keen plein air landscape painter for ten years or so in an impressionistic realist style which I enjoy a great deal and am accomplished at.
I’ve more recently started experimenting with watercolour in a more controlled local environment but conversely allowing the paint to be more unconstrained and, therefore, driving the process. However, I still approach the final image making with an effort to problem solve using the same methodology to an outdoor painting such as, is the composition engaging but balanced, do the colours work harmoniously, is there a full range of values and would I be proud to hang the finished piece on my wall?
If the answer is yes to all of these then I believe I have created something of equivalent value to a successful plein air painting but this has been achieved by exploring the landscape within and without so much of the conscious ‘me’ being involved in the undertaking.
All my work is produce on high quality 140lb cotton paper, I embrace wet-on-wet to produce an initial delicate ground and then build on increasingly dryer layers to add visual weight.
Concurrently, I also am mindful to work from big shapes to medium to small in a disciplined order and I’m careful to reserve light areas at the beginning to allow the darker final layers to create a delicately balanced contrast.
