Fiona Poynter Arty Bites

Right now on my art board is a developing painting of holly; very seasonal, you may be saying. It excites me to be creating this work and I am relishing the control and detail called for in this style of painting.

Surprisingly, the process is not too demanding and I find I only need to spare half an hour here and there to dip into it, even finding a quiet time on Christmas Eve while supper was cooking to apply more layers to the painting.

I treated myself to some professional, fine brushes and decent paper as I didn’t seem to have the right stuff in the house!! As a rule, I always like to use the resources I already have, but unfortunately it wasn’t there and only the best would do for this project.

Plenty of breaks help me reassess my progress, I am off now to continue with the layers and markings of this prickly subject.

Thanks for taking a look.

Peace, Fiona.
