Red Moons


Some work from late July 2026 - working on "Red Moons" from the 'Twenty One ' series. This being the early drawing stage before photography for the digital version. A couple of more alterations and then I think it will be right for what I want. The alterations are left to stand as scrubbed out marks - which helps the digital versions - texture wise. The paintings go on from this junction to other places, sometimes more alterations - the techniques of digital and real paint are quite different and need to be resolved in different ways. The title "Red Moons" is a working title at the moment.

Either way it's good to experiment and push painting techniques in various ways. In fact, the differences between the 'Twenty One' series and the 'Apostasy' series are quite pronounced. The temptation though is to relax into comfortable patterns of working and typical well used personal techniqu...
