Moment in the Air Print

Painting: mixed media on Canvas. Walking on Dartmoor, Devon - in all weather, wind blowing, rain stinging my cheeks, breathing in the fresh, cool air fills my soul with joy and a desire to paint how I feel in the huge open space, alone with the elements. I make quick, spontaneous sketches on cartridge paper or in my sketchbooks - I always have at least 2 with me. I then use these sketches to inform my creations once in my studio where I am able to consider how I want to paint, with which medium - for this one, I chose to use acrylic paints, watercolour pencils and finish with oil paint to add depth to the finished piece.
