About Andrew King ROI

Profile

Artist details

Artist's Statement

Andrew King's approach to painting is informed by his initial observations, working quickly in oils on small panels. He is not drawn to topographical detail but to the overall impact of light illuminating, or moving across, the landscape or subject. His aim is to try to capture these, often fleeting, effects of light. Andrew tries to achieve this by retaining spontaneity in his brushwork - believing a single well observed brush stroke to be more expressive than a dozen.

Method of Working

Andrew works primarily in oils, preferring to mix my own primer, which he often tones to suit his subject’s light and characteristics. He works (a la prima) on small boards on location, but in the studio he will often underpaint certain areas of my subject, bearing in mind my desired effect when working over these tinted passages. Andrew often uses the three-dimensional qualities of thicker passages of impasto paint to help reflect the light in certain areas of both sky and landscape. He favours the use of ‘flake white’, which helps to create more translucent areas of paint in both sky and water. For some passages he will also mix certain mediums with the paint, as these help him to create particular desired effects. Andrew's preference is always to use the largest brushes that he can, and he does not attempt to hide the brushstrokes as he believes they help to create a feeling of movement – an element that is a vital part of his approach.
