About Nigel Shipley

For many years, I have painted landscapes, but recently my paintings have become more abstract. For me - painting an abstract image is like feeling your way in the dark. Each stage must be carefully thought through before it is executed. For example, when choosing colour combinations I will make several small sketches to try out various colour options, and then pick the one that is best. I work on each painting over several weeks, often working on several at a time. Every time I return to a painting I get a fresh view of it. This is when I am best able to see what change is needed to progress it. Gradually paintings evolve until something tells me that it has a spark of magic and is finished.
