Barry Stedman Framed pencil, pastel and gouache painting

Pencil, pastel and gouache on paper.

Barry Stedman "I tend to work in series influenced by natural phenomena, places, and emotions, developing ideas from drawing, painting and previous firings. I like the warmth and brightness of earthenware using slip, oxides and underglazes, over a red clay body. The surfaces are created in layers, firing in between using thin washes, wiping back and building up rich zones of colour. I then glaze chosen areas to add further depth, tone and texture."

As all products are handmade sizes and colour may vary slightly.
