Spanish Ruin, Original Watercolour Painting

Applying watercolour in many layers creates a vibrancy that can’t be achieved with wet on wet. Leo will often finish a painting with a stroke of coloured pencil and splashes of white acrylic mixed with various watercolour hues with brushes of various sizes and conditions providing a rich array of mark making and a varied surface. 

The frames for Leo’s works on paper are handmade in West Somerset for each individual piece. Often in Oak, sometimes with a hand painted finished but always with an off white very slightly textured mount.
