I use oil pigment
sticks as a painting and a drawing medium. I work on rag paper, canvas
and board, in many different sizes, from 3 x 5 inches to 5 x 9 feet. The
oilsticks contain pure vegetable waxes, linseed oil and pure pigments,
but no added driers. I
work automatically, laying down the paint in layers, using rags and scrapers
to rub areas
out as well as
using watercolour pencils for the lines. Many
images appear as I’m working on a piece, but usually one image sticks
midway in the process and this is what I work on for the finished image.
I will be at the Moss Street Paint-In on Saturday July, 18 between 12-4.
