Back of Heather Moorland in Winter


I've been asked how the paintings are created. They're all in encaustic (a wax and pigment mixture) on canvas (see above). The canvas is sealed with acrylic sealant and primed with gesso.
As you can see with this method there are no traces of the paint coming through the canvas.

  1. I do or have done some artwork here both gesso on mdf panels and 3d abstract sculptures. I used Bernard Dunstons recipe .. u know it?? egg oil and water and a chalk paste.... always an enjoyable task for me. Richard (we e-mailed recently).
