Beneath the surface tension

I'm an airbrush artist based in the West Midlands. In this piece, I wanted to push the boundaries of photorealism with the airbrush and recreate minute detail in texture.

Title. Beneath The Surface Tension
Size A3,
Medium. Airbrush on composite board

I really hope you enjoy it.

Salamanca cathedral

I drove to Spain to paint this. Took 2 days to drive from the Midlands, catching a ferry from Dover to Calais. It was done across 3 days, 5 hours per sitting due to the heat. It is oil on stretched canvas and sold straight off the easel.

Jes

This was a first try at a portrait with water-mixable oil paints and a Zorn palette: Ivory black, Titanium White, Cadmium Red, and Yellow Ochre. I took a quick photo of my husband to copy, and finished within 2 hours. I found the paints mixed and spread much as tradtional oils but with an advantage (in a heat wave), of being low odour and easily cleanable, so being able to use them away from my workroom.

Portrait of Chris Saul

This portrait (A3 size) was completed live in approximately 3 hours at a Portrait Evening at Stratford Art Society. Chris Saul, Shakespeare actor, was one of the sitters. I use Silverpoint on a prepared ground, as a medium that produces delicate portraits whilst allowing depth and detail through its mindful but unforgiving method. Over time, the portrait will oxidise to become a beautiful brown finish. I'm currently working on a guide to Silverpoint in an attempt to attract more artists to this ancient medium.
