When the opportunity arises, or the creative need dictates, I enjoy working on a larger scale.  There's a wonderful tension in suddenly moving from an A3 sheet of white paper demanding that particular kinds of marks be made all over it, to a giant sheet of watercolour paper which demands not only much bigger brushes but a different way of thinking!  Or being faced with two panels of MDF joined together and ready primed presenting a shimmering white 5 square metre surface glaring at you and almost demanding that the carefully prepared thumbnails be convincingly multiplied a hundred-fold!  

 

In recent years I have completed a range of large-scale mural projects - some on site and some in the studio and and each has presented a different challenge - but all of them enormous fun.
