This Sweet Ol' World

Join me while I paint a beautiful window seat. Using oil paints in the alla prima (wet on wet technique) and using both brush and palette knife.

If you’re like me you are probably a visual learner. There is a world of difference between reading about and listening to someone talking about painting and being actually being able to watch as the artist paint. The Ah Ha moments when a value is changed or that little flourish is added.

That’s why I’m releasing this in-depth painting demo, so you can see every stroke and every colour mixed as I paint.
Join me over eight videos and watch me paint this tranquil scene.

The Painting

In this demo I will paint a mid-size painting (50x50cm canvas size) in oils, on canvas, using both the brush and the knife. The painting is completed over one session.

The demo is filmed using several cameras so that you can see my palette, the original scene and me as I talk to you. You can watch every moment (over 2 hours) or scoot through it, as you wish.

The Process

In addition to watching me paint I will also introduce you to the scene and walk you through my six step painting process using the alla prima techque.

And as a free bonus I am including a full colour, seven step guide to my six step process to support you through the demo and help you understand the method better at home in your own studio.

The Setting

I live in Co. Wicklow, on the east coast of Ireland, also known as The garden of Ireland.

The setting for the painting in this demo is a tranquil corner of the old kitchen in the stunningly beautiful Killruddery House. Killrudery House is a fifteen century, country house estate just five minutes from my home.
