He uses alot of geometric shapes, lines and angles, with blocks of colour and areas of transparent glazes. I started off with a drawing outline of an image, started to block in colour with glazes, than add some opaque areas than reworked with charcoal and so on. Here are two works I did (still very representational compared to his works as thats just who I am) Aussie Backyard Interior Still Life -Sink and Chair I found this process to be really fun and something totally different. I would use this technique again for experimenting and just to play and relax. Comments are welcome.
