Artwork Description:

Title: Stag

In this painting of the stag, I utilized a combination of strong and subtle watercolour pigments to create a piece that is both striking and vibrant. Drawing inspiration from classic animated films such as Bambi and Dumbo, the process was a delightful experimental endeavour. It is designed to resonate with the younger generations within my family. 

Artist Bio:
Thank you for visiting my page.

I've been inspired by Renoir, Van Gogh, Dali’s “Persistence of Memory,” and Hopper’s “Morning Sun.” Planning my paintings can take weeks or months. I research various perspectives and details, studying other artists’ works. After choosing a canvas size, I use software to align my sketch, then sketch key details. Applying the right ground paint is crucial to building up the composition, with light and dark always in mind.

I don't always stick to the initial sketch as the painting process evolves, often adding or removing details to build depth. Photographing the artwork helps me review progress away from the studio. I seek feedback from family, friends, and other artists throughout the process.

Walking away from the final stages is challenging, but family support helps. I work with various mediums, though I often choose acrylic. My approach is guided by gut feeling, aiming to produce the best work possible.
