Georgina Vinsun (Artist) in Stoke-on-Trent (United Kingdom) from Re-title.com

My paintings explore the sky and the cloud formations I see there. I find the rolling, ever changing clouds a real inspiration and work at loosely translating them to canvas.
The work aslo incorporates a lot of spontaneous, gestural aspects. These are either layered over with veils of paint or left as they are. I wouldn't class my work as truly spontaneous as I find myself considering what I'm painting 60% of the time.My preferred medium is oil paint on canvas sized with rabbit skin glue. I find the finish and depth of tone achievable is far greater than with acrylic paints.
I use a combination of powdered pigment and pre-mixed tube paint. I prefer to mix my own, if only for the process itself.

Oil paint is a little more unpredictable than acrylic, although I always feel I have more control over it.
I also use pencil, oil pastel and marker pen within the work for my spontaneous mark-making.
