kk · May 23, 2021May 23, 2021

Watercolours are a joy to work with. You can achieve amazing transparency and glow with them. Happy accidents create a great flow of colours. And are so easy to travel with! I packed them when I was going away for a short holiday. Between hiking, reading and photography I found time to paint a bunch …

Abstract art

kk · April 18, 2021April 18, 2021

I had so much fun when creating this piece. An idea of another geometric form popped into my head. Sometimes a concept forms in my mind which I transfer to the canvas in one go. They look really good together. Similar but not exactly the same. Like them? Can be yours! Here’s the link to …

Jump! Why acrylics and collage go so well together

kk · April 11, 2021April 11, 2021

As I mentioned in this post I spend a lot of time at the beach, mostly at Broomhill Sands or Gratestone. I love to watch kite and windsurfers. Totally free, flying in the air. I tried to capture this spirit in the ‘Jump!’. It shows why acrylics and collage go so well together. I used …

Waiting for spring – green landscape with trees

kk · March 21, 2021March 21, 2021

I’m waiting for spring to show itself in full. It’s almost here; daffodils are in bloom, the grass is growing. Yet, trees are still just dark silhouettes. I captured this vivid contrast in my Green Landscape with Trees. Landscape is a unique subject, infinitely complex with colours and atmosphere changing almost constantly. I found the …

Seashell paintings – do you love seashells too?

Circle of life, Zodiacs, Flower of life, Nautilus, Labyrinth, Mandala, Sun and Moon – examples of our pull …

Contemporary Winter Landscape in Acrylics

kk · February 18, 2021March 2, 2021

The recent onset of winter reminded me how little colour nature needs to create a magnificent view. A cool, afternoon light, only a few colours, lack of movement and silence of the fields gave me an inspiration for a contemporary winter landscape. Using a small selection of pigments, one can focus on composition and harmony. As a result painting becomes very …
