Biography
I work Alla Prima, wet into wet . Usually I don't draw before I start painting, I start from scratch with paint.
All important to me is textures for a painting should look like paint was used to look as interesting up close as it would from afar. From a distance my work should look realistic as I take pride in painting my figures in proportion to what it should be in life but sometimes I will change it whenever I feel it will improve a painting. I play around with the wet paint, moving it around to suit my needs until I'm satisfied I captured the essence of my subject.
My influences are Pierre Auguste Renoir, Richand Smidt, van Gogh, and Rembrandt van Reyn. Currently I'm exploring Impressionism and Classicism.
