Jim L’Oste-Brown came to us LIVE from Australia via Zoom on Friday, September 2nd to share his favorite techniques and color palette. Here is a quick Q&A with Jim:

為什麼要創作藝術？

I create art firstly because it’s my passion. Secondly, as a profession, I enjoy creating pieces for others to appreciate.

你畫畫多久了？

I have been illustrating and painting for as long as I can remember, since I was a young boy.

你受過正規的藝術訓練嗎？

No, I am self-taught.

什麼激勵了你？

I look purely to my ocean-themed subject matter for inspiration.

您繪畫時會聽什麼類型的音樂？

I listen to Peking Duk (they’ve commissioned artwork from me), Foo Fighters, Birds of Tokyo and Red Hot Chili Peppers – but most of the time, I work in stints of silence.

您有導師嗎？

I have not had a mentor, however Bek from my local art store has guided me when it comes to the materials I use.

您每次只畫一幅畫還是同時畫幾幅畫？

Generally I work on one piece at a time, due to limited desk space. But I’m also hand-embellishing art prints along the way. I try to paint every day.

您是否先創作了一個概念作品？

Initially I draw my concept on baking parchment so that I can get the proportions correct, then I transfer that work to the final paper.

您喜歡在工作室還是戶外繪畫？

I work solely in my studio.

您使用多少核心色？

– I wouldn’t say I use core colours, however 雙色北極火 和 喹吖啶酮 金 feature in most of my pieces.

管子、鍋子還是棍子？

管子和盤子。

你怎麼知道你的作品何時完成？

I know when a piece is finished from the photos I take for Instagram posts. Looking at a small digital image brings my attention to any required tonal changes.
