The studio at night, viewed from the entrance towards the painting and sculpting area. In the foreground is the illustration area, with a drawing table on the left and a lowered ceiling, which is used for drawing and watercolours, and includes a complete airbrushing station with compressors and a selection of airbrush guns, predominantly used for whale and dolphin scientific illustrations.
Nearing completion on #21 The Crow, using a mahl stick to steady my hand and complete the detail of the eye, probably the most important element in this painting.
My painting table is laid out carefully to enable good access, as well as to ease the movement between palette and canvas. The marble mixing surface is a heavy but ideal mixing substrate.
