Impressionist Brush Strokes

of Pure Colour

Full of brush strokes. Most of the oil paintings are of a vibrant and bold impressionist style, emerging out of a sea of colourful strokes, dabs and lines. Sometimes only a colourful thin line, others thick and broad, laid as buttery paint onto the canvas or partly obscuring another stroke. This vibrant colourful layering creates a dance of colours on the canvas as they mix together in your eye to form the final image. They add an atmosphere of vibrant colourful light and joy to any room. I hope the sense of joy is imbued in the paintings I have created for you to enjoy.

Some paintings are lavishly layered with thick butter like brush stroke of pure colour giving a superb texture. Some paintings have sub layers of texture over which a picture is painted. Other paintings are painted onto a smooth canvas/board allowing one colour to be laid thinly over another and the image etched back out of the painting. This technique works wonderfully with images water laid over the sand, reflections and complex images of flowers.

Use the zoom feature in the viewer to look at the paintings close up. Its on the left just above the thumbnails. Zoom in and move around the painting using the zoom cursors. Look at the bold placing of pure vibrant colour and the interlayering of brush strokes. One colour over another. Quite beautiful, vibrant and colourful. This layering of colour and compilation of colours and brush strokes leads to a more complex image which is more interesting to the eye. It makes for a brighter and more appealing painting which will hold the viewers interest for much longer. In some images it can take a while to see all that is hidden amongst the colours.

 

Take a look in the gallery viewer of the paintings and you can zoom in using the tool bar below and left of the image to see all the glorious soft and luscious brush strokes in Pete’s work

3 different techniques layered one on top of another. Translucent layers of paint, then scratched back to form highlights and more reflections, then thin lines of colour laid over top to create the ripples. Brush strokes flow with the painting to add flow, form and movement
