Brian Mitchell RSMA

Brian values the discipline of drawing and the inimitable results of working directly from observation. However, working from photographs, which he uses extensively, Brian finds a poor substitute.
He work in oils, watercolour and acrylic, whichever seems most likely to realise the image he has, too firmly, perhaps, in his mind, though he believes oil offers the greatest promise.
It is always the next painting, the one that is only an idea, that rouses the greatest enthusiasm, closely followed by the one barely begun, and so the studio usually has an embarrassment of works in progress, some likely to “progress” no further.
