I am back after six weeks or so. We moved house and had trouble establishing an internet connection-the joys of living in a rural area. Am hoping to resume some serious painting now and will look forward to posting the results. Regards to all.

I am finally getting another head of steam with my painting and I have quite a few paintings on the go now which should mature in the next few weeks and I will load them on as soon as I can. I am mostly painting watercolours at the moment, sometimes with a technique I call "dry brush" which is using the watercolour medium but more opaquely and using additional gum arabic to glaze and thin the paints-almost an oil painting technique. It does allow me to use more controlled accicdent to knock back an image and them rebuild it again, giving what I feel is an additional richness. Sometimes you risk losing the entire image but the satisfaction of recovering and restoring it is great. When I feel a painting (or other type of art work) is working for me, I can sense a sound in my head almost like a tone at a certain pitch which I can't quite describe. Some painting never produce that sound but I know I am on the right track when I hear it. Not just my imagination!

It is a good incentive to put up new work here and I am particularly grateful for the fed back I have been having from my friends. Keep watching this space.

We have just returned from a week in Devon where we stayed in a little cabin or "villa" in Saunton Sands which is mostly a nature reserve made up of sand dunes with a cluster of cabins at one end and a small selection of beach facilities. Literally miles of unspoilt beach due to the nature reserve. I did a few watercolours and drawings . These two are maybe the best. I did one from memory of a curious phenomena of the light when the sun was shining through clouds while we were messing around in the surf. It looks a bit too much like a sunset and so I will have to look at it for awhile to see whether it should go up here. We had a fabulous time though. Lots of sun and surf.

Well I have been doing this for just over a week now and I think the paintings and drawings reproduce really well electronically. Somehow the system seems to retain the luminosity of the watercolours-probably because they appear lit frombelow-the idea behind watercolours of course is that the transparent colours are also lit from below by the light shining on the paper. The oils seem to retain their colours really well too.
Anyway thanks for all the comments so far. I hope I will be able to load up more fresh work soon. Keep dropping by.

Introduction

2005-06-19T06:28:00.000-07:00

My name is Paul Jackson and I also use the name Art Nahpro for some of my work. I am a 50 year old artist and I was trained in the traditional fine art techniques of drawing and painting.

I attended the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham in Surrey and graduated with a First in Fine Art (Painting) in 1977.

I have had some success in exhibitions over the years but have supported myself working at a number of different jobs-mostly unrelated to art over the years. In January 2006 I hope to devote myself full time to my art work. This Blog may chart my progress.

I also work in collage and mixed media. This Blog is my first attempt at setting out some of the work I do and I hope viewers will enjoy it once I become familiar with the technology. Today is the 19 June 2005.
