Base colours
Got some base colours going down this week. Nice and bright after some dark layers to really get that glow happening.
New Work out now!
Here is a new painting of the Herne Bay Cruising Club Boathouse in Auckland, New Zealand.
Inside the studio
This is where everything gets made, and where many endless hours are spent painting the details while listening to a good audio book.
Central Otago new painting
Starting a new painting. Capturing the rich hues setting on one of New Zealand's most stunning mountain range with the first dusting of snow for the season.
Lake Alexandrina detail
Each leaf is painted individually with multiple layers of colour.Michelle has just finished this Lake Alexandrina painting.
Central Otago Exploration
From viewing the undulating curves of this mesmerising mountain range from the tussock, to a speedy 4w4, bike, hike & run to get to the summit and back down to photograph and study the evening light
Herne Bay cruising club boathouse painting
Michelle has been working on a new painting of the cruising club boathouse in Herne Bay. Nestled into the shoreline below Marine Parade Reserve in Herne Bay sits an important part of Auckland’s yachting heritage.
Mixing with the greens
Michelle is currently working on a small group of Auckland paintings. She is feeling very refreshed after moving into a green colour palette and is using these greens to express the deep reflective tones around the Orakei boat sheds.
What is under all the paint?
All of Michelle's original paintings are painted on hand-made kiln-dried cedar framed MDF boards unless specified differently.
