Still life oil painting of Tete a Tete Jonquils with walnuts by Helen Davison

Tete-A-Tete

March 20, 2016 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Painting, Still Life

A little Sunday afternoon painting of miniature Tete-a-Tete Jonquillas with a couple of walnuts… just for the randomness and challenge of painting them.

Still life oil painting of a lemon with its leaves by Helen Davison

Lemon in Grey

March 16, 2016 · by Helen · in Daily Painting, Life Studies, Painting, Still Life

This was very nearly wiped out, but I felt it had just enough going for it to save it. That said, it’s not satisfactory and I suspect I will paint something else on the other side of the panel –…

'Jas (as yet untitled)'. Oil portrait on gesso panel, 30cm x 40cm. 2016 by Helen Davison

Ultramarine…beyond the sea

March 13, 2016 · by Helen · in Painting, Portraiture

This is a terrible photo of a short portrait study that I finished this week. I haven’t worked on these particular gesso panels very much, and I really noticed how much this support altered my painting technique. For example, fusing…

Portrait of a dog called Bessie

February 28, 2016 · by Helen · in Animals, Commissions

This has been a really fun little study in preparation for a commission to paint Bessie perhaps at a bigger scale… although as of yet I’m not sure which direction to take. In the meantime however, I’m immensely pleased with…

Figure Painting

Work in Progress…

January 29, 2016 · by Helen · in Painting, Portraiture

Here’s a large portrait project that I’m currently working on. So far it’s going well and is at a good stage to leave alone for a few days before returning to it next week (where it could all go wrong)….

Robert Beverly Hale Anatomy studies

January 24, 2016 · by Helen · in Anatomy

This week we started a little after school anatomy class in Salisbury. Organised by my fellow students, Alastair Barford and Caroline, the main focus of each weekly class will be the lectures of Robert Beverly Hale. There are ten lectures…

Charcoal figure drawing - Helen Davison

Sketchy start

January 17, 2016 · by Helen · in Drawing, Life Studies

First figure study of the year. Very slow start and I certainly kept it sketchy!

Nude oil painting by Helen Davison

A collection of small paintings

January 9, 2016 · by Helen · in Life Studies, Painting

To get the year started, here’s a small nude study painted just before Christmas. Seen alongside some of the other small studies I’ve been working on recently, it adds to quite a nice, cohesive little collection. Back to work on…

'Virtutis Amore'. Oil portrait on linen, life size. 2015 by Helen Davison

Year end.

December 31, 2015 · by Helen · in Painting, Portraiture, Rambles

Well, here we are at the end of another year. In many ways this has been my most successful in terms of exhibiting my work and making sales, and I’ve been lucky enough to see my work alongside that of…
