Oil and watercolour onto clay panel. This work is inspired by the shifting light of an incoming storm. Glaw Golau loosely translates as rain that is shifting over a landscape with bright sunlight to the east.

The process:

Each birch panel is covered with a specially formulated clay ground, that I’ve developed in the studio over the past few years. The surface is subtly textured and able to hold soft washes of watercolour which are built upon in oil. This results in works that are rich and atmospheric; elements that perfectly convey the Welsh landscape and ever shifting weather patterns.
