Just popped into the fantastic team at @horizonframing who are working on framing a new series of paintings I’ve been working on over the winter. Can’t wait to get hold of them and show them at the Longwick Art Exhibition this weekend. I’m also in the middle of writing my latest e-newsletter updating everyone on my up and coming courses, workshops and exhibitions. If you’d like to receive a copy, DM me your email and I’ll get one sent to you. #framing #painting #art #horizonframing #claydoncourtyard
Happy Valentines Day Mrs K (aka @kimberleyelderton) the real boss of @thecourtyardartstudio and the best model, art critic, friend and supporter an artist can have. I also love her because she does my VAT and tax return - a real keeper! 😉🥰😘 #portrait #portraiture #painting #portraitpainting #allaprima #allaprimaportrait #allaprima #oil #oilpainting #oilportrait

Been having a good couple of days painting this new portrait of local artist Angela. Found it interesting how the darker background has made the colours seem brighter and more intense. Painted on 80x60cm @winsorandnewton cotton canvas, @mhoilpaints oils and @rosemarybrushes hog brushes. #art #painting #artstudio #workingartist #bucks #britishartist #claydon #oils #oilpaint #paint #portrait #portraiture #portraitpainting #create #makeart #contemporaryart #contemporaryportrait #creativity #followart #artistofinstagram #buckinghamshire #creativeminds #carveouttimeforart #bucksartist
Painted this alla prima portrait for an article I’m writing. Managed to capture the whole process step-by-step so will now put some words to it to explain how it all came together. Also game me a chance to have a go at using some new @mhoilpaints colours, including Warm White and Cadmium Red Deep. Some beautiful results 👍 #painting #portrait #portraitpainting #oilpainting #allaprima #allaprimaportrait #oil #oilportrait #portraiture #colour #flesh #michaelharding
Delighted to be park of this, my first show of 2019, The Longwick Art Exhibition, raising funds for the local primary school. Very flattered that one of my paintings has been used for their promotional material and also pleased to see so many other local arty friends exhibiting there too - can’t wait to see it all up! Well done to @stewart.clough for organising it all! #exhibition #art #artshow #artexhibition #longwick #paintings #drawing #sculpture #print #glass #textiles
Inspired by my good arty friend and fellow @bucksartsociety member @markfennelli, I also didn’t get through the first round of the RP exhibition this year. Rejections from these big competitions used to really get me down and even made me question about pursuing a career as an artist. But now, it just encourages me even more to continue my journey as an artist, develop in my own independent way of working and to just enjoy the ride as apposed to aiming for a goal. I’m really happy with my painting at the moment, enjoying both the process and the outcome and very excited about the number of artistic projects I have planned for this year and beyond 😊👍 #workingartist #artist #portrait #portraitpainting #portraiture #oil #oilportrait #exhibition #openexhibitions #artistofinstagram #followart #art
Spending a day away from portraiture to rework and assess some of the landscapes I painted in 2018. Trying to see if there’s a collection here and which ones need more work, modifying or changing completely. #art #painting #artstudio #landscape #landscapepainting #oilpainting #bucks #britishartist #claydon #paint #claydonestate #creative #create #makeart #learnart #inspired #creativity #followart #artistsofinstagram #buckinghamshire #creativeminds #process #carveouttimeforart

Had a great day leading a charcoal portraiture workshop for the Woodley & Earley Art Group in Berkshire. A great group of enthusiastic artists, keen to learn. Here’s one of the 2 demos I did. This one was a timed 10 min drawing of Mike, one of the participants. Was also good to meet Insta Artist friend @mick_mcnicholas. Well worth a follow! #charcoal #drawing #portrait #portraiture #sketch #portraitdrawing #blackandwhite #teaching
A little demonstration painting I did for the Winslow & District Art Society at @thecourtyardartstudio. Makes me want to grab my bucket and spade and head to the beach...I might leave it a few months though! 20x20cm oil on canvas, #art #painting #oil #oilpainting #figurative #figurativeart #figurativepainting #beach #seaside #fineart #winslow #teaching
Every now and then I paint a picture that I just can’t part with. I painted this little scene as a demonstration at @buckscountymuseum in 2015 and it now hangs on my living room wall, one of the only paintings I’ve painted that has made it onto my wall at home. ‘Little Wonder’ Oil on canvas, 25x25cm #motivationmonday #mondaymotivation #painting #art #contemporaryart #figurepainting #figurative #figurativeart #oil #oilpaintng #beach #seaside #fineart
