Jo
oil on canvas
by Paul Hutchinson, 2001
| Often described as "the painter's painter", Paul Hutchinson has steadfastly refused to follow trends in painting. Completely self taught, he has been working full-time as an artist since he was 17, developing the skills and techniques of painting and continually exploring new mediums, most recently reviving the ancient technique of painting in encaustic wax - ground pigments mixed with molten beeswax and resins and applied hot to the canvas. |
He has set up a painting-a-day blog at postcardfrompuniho.blogspot.com
See his work in the Five from the Outer Edge exhibition.
More of his work can be seen on his blog at postcardfrompuniho.blogspot.com,
