Pier Luigi Baffoni Hon Sen ROI

For many years Pier has been painting in oils, watercolours and pastels directly from life. With this long experience, he feels confident in also making use of photographic material.

He is very interested in how, through an understanding of the complementary colours, one can achieve warm or cool temperatures and an intensity of light.  He finds it useful, therefore, to prepare for a subject in oils through preliminary sketches in pastel. For his oil paintings Pier uses mainly brushes and occasionally palette knife.  He works on canvas, canvas board and board.

An area of particular interest to him is portraiture, which he finds most exciting when done from life.
