My goal is to paint you a beautiful custom painting and if we decide to work together it is important we work to find the right subject matter and aesthetic.

 

Using a photo reference

 

It  may seem subjective but not all lovely, beautiful photos translate into painting. My painting particularly has a focus on colour and light; and a gestural abstract quality. Ideally a photo reference will be strong and striking, full of depth and light. Photos do not have to be taken with a professional camera (a smart phone is fine). Note the following elements as a guide and I am also happy to provide visual examples if that helps. 

​​

• Must have good clear light and shade (depth, contours, atmospheric perspective)

• Good resolution (a strong clear image in focus).

• A light, bright, neutral background with few distracting elements unless relevant.

• Ideally no heavily edited colours or filters.
