Spring River 2 in acrylics

When ordering some more paper from the Art shop I use, I noticed that they are now stocking Ampersand Panels.  I have always wanted to try the Ampersand Smooth panels so decided to order a few.

I love the surface of these panels - they are so smooth (much smoother than the gessobord panels) and the paint just glides on in a very similar way when using  the Colourfix Smooth Paper.

I will definitely will purchase a few more.

I really enjoyed painting this one in the larger format -  it is just easier to see the details and the subtle change in colours.  Really pleased with the final painting.

Snow Leopard in acrylics

I love everything about this one.  Really pleased with the final painting.  I used a lot of glazes to get the depth to the fur and the rock was fun to paint - used my fingers quite a bit in the beginning.
