I’ve tried lots of different styles and textures until eventually finding what I’m comfortable with. So as not to rock the boat, I stick with what works best for me and paint using the colours I’m comfortable with.Ĭhoosing the right paper is important, as there are so many options around. It just seems to be the right one for me, as I haven’t found any other that matches it. My choice of brand is Winsor & Newton, I particularly enjoy the Burnt Sienna, one of my favourite colours. This gives me 2x different opportunities by using gouache. Or it can be used as a diluted flowing transparent colour wash, allowing the white paper colour to show through. Blocking out everything underneath for highlights etc. The beauty of gouache is, it can be used as an opaque paint. Working with gouache paint comes very easy, as I have always preferred watercolour paints. Going forward in the coming months I will be painting in acrylic on canvas, and seeing how far I can progress. Working in gouache, I find it rewarding and I’m slowly creating my own style. Painting many pet portraits on Instagram has helped me get my confidence back to using watercolours. I haven’t looked back since and have rediscovered my passion for everything equine and animals. In November 2016, I made the decision to go back to my love of painting. The business accounts I worked on, ranged from local, national and international clients. Eventually, I became a freelance designer and illustrator and carved out a very successful career working in my own business. I went on to work as a graphic designer and illustrator for many Advertising Agencies and Studios. I finished a course in 1979 achieving a 2.1 grade HND. So, I enrolled in Southampton College of Art on a foundation year, then later specialising in Graphic Design. I realised that maybe I was good at something. It wasn’t until I was 16 that I studied art in evening school, gaining an A level grade B in one year. Always a keen artist, I never took the subject up in secondary school having concentrated on other subjects. My name is Tim Olden and I grew up in the Southampton, England.
