Gilded Egyptian, that’s the nature of Hackney. One collision on top of another collision.

[...]

… I think Hackney is a place of self-generating mythologies. Everybody has his own version of what the story is. The layering of this place is so amazing and exciting. You really can’t stand around for very long before someone steps out of a building and wants to give you another part of the narrative. And so the story gradually accumulates.

I miss London sometimes.

  1. Go on holiday to where you really want to go, and be inspired.

  2. Start with acrylics, then watercolours, then pastels and then oils
  3. When you set out to do a landscape, “start with the sky first, top to bottom.”
  4. When you do distance, it’s lighter, and when you do foreground it comes darker.
  5. If you’re doing a figure in the winter, do a brown head, leave a small gap, do a blue jacket and brown legs. Then with the gap get a red pastel and do a flick of red so it looks like a scarf.
  6. Keep on painting.
