A Natural Approach to Realism

International Artist Magazine

Flowers by Paula Henchell

If you didn't get a chance to pick up the June/July 2013 issue of International Artist Magazine, here is an overview. In this article I discuss my process in detail. See the step-by-step stages of working from a reference photograph on a toned canvas, how I build layers and use glazing techniques to get the subtle and glowing colours, all the way to the final painting. I talk about my palette and the kinds of brushes I use to achieve the soft backgrounds and hard edge details of realism. Enjoy.
