Colin Halliday: Nature Of Paint
Colin Halliday reminds us of the simple beauty of landscape. Influenced by the works of John Constable, Paul Nash and John Sergeant, in "The Nature of Paint", he shows us landscapes full of humanity and individuality.
Halliday confesses that he is overwhelmed by the beauty and timelessness of landscape and it remains his chosen subject. He believes that landscape does not seek to convey a message, story, idea or concept and within it he finds an escape from consumerism.
Halliday paints alla prima,鈥渨et on wet鈥� using a reduced colour palette of pure oil paint 鈥� cadmium yellows and red, lemon yellow, blue ultramarine, titanium white and cerulean blue. He paints standing up on location, in all seasons and weathers using a camping table as a makeshift palette, big palette knives and a large amount of paint.
