My paintings in Chromacolour

I've been using Chromacolour now for quite a number of years.  It's magic.  I never did get away with ordinary watercolours, was very happy with gouache - until I discovered, quite by chance, Chromacolour.  It virtually changed my painting life and I am now venturing into new, exciting styles, enjoying the freedom this medium offers.  Chromacolour can be used as traditional watercolours, pen and ink, acryllics and even give the same result as oils used with brush or palette knife.  The paint comes in bottles of liquid and tubes of paste, is water soluble, waterproof and doesn't fade.  It's quick-drying, so perfect for the outdoors artist.  And, unlike most other paint mediums there's no foul odour.  

For the past three years I have been teaching art in our village here in Gascony and most of my pupils are now using Chromacolour with growing success.  Each time I try something new with the medium I get the same excited feeling as if discovering it for the first time.  I can't recommend it too highly - and it's really economic if used with a Waterson's Sta-wet Palette.  Here is a selection of some of my paintings.  Look and, hopefully, enjoy!

Chromacolour magic

I can't possibly blog without giving a very special mention to the medium I prefer as an artist.  It's so special I feel I can do almost anything with this magical product.  I've used Chromacolour now for quite a number of years and find it unbeatable as well as the most versatile paint on the market.  For those of you who don't know of Chromacolour, it's a kind of acryllic.  I say "a kind of" because it seems to be so much more, so much better than the general range of acryllics, which I have tried.  I always go back to Chromacolour.  I use it in bottles and in tubes [liquid or paste].  There's no disagreeable odour, it's beautifully transluscent when you need it to be, and the colours are so much brighter and fresher than anything else I've tried.  I paint in the style of watercolours and in the style of oils, without problem, neither of which medium suited me in the past. Chromacolour has, in fact, changed my  life as an artist. In short, I'm passionate about it and can't recommend it too highly to anyone, whether they are beginners or experts.
