FAQs

Paintings

What medium do you work in?

I primarily paint with traditional oil paint and I typically work on either MDF wood panels which have been primed for oil or linen board. Panels and boards are typically between 3mm and 5mm in depth. Details will be listed alongside each piece.

What colours do you use?

The colours I most frequently use are:

• Titanium white / Warm white

• Cadmium Yellow Lemon

• Cadmium Yellow

• Yellow Ochre

• Cadmium Red

• Permanent Alizarin Crimson

• Burnt Sienna

• Transparent Oxide Red

• Raw Umber

• Ultramarine Blue

• Cerulean Blue

• Viridian

I have a few additional colours which are useful for painting flowers but are not normally on my palette.

Are your paintings framed?

It varies. Most work is sold unframed but in some cases I will provide a framed option. In this case a photo will be shown as part of the listing. I am very happy to organise framing for a painting which is unframed. If you have any questions, please get in touch and we can discuss options for the particular painting you are considering.

My favourite painting has sold – how can I be sure to know about new work?

Some pieces sell very quickly. Make sure you join my mailing list to be the first to hear about new work as it is added to my shop - I try not to send too many emails so will only get in touch every few months.

How will my painting be wrapped?

I package paintings carefully to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. I try to be considerate of the packing materials I use so will use recyclable material where possible and may re-use packing materials if appropriate. For further details about delivery please see the Shipping details.
