About Blackpaint.

I am a painter based in London.  I mostly do abstract paintings in acrylics, although I sometimes use charcoal, oil pastel and occasionally watercolour.  I blog about the process of painting, artists, exhibitions (I go to a lot), sometimes films, often music.  I’m Blackpaint because I use a lot – I like a big dramatic slash of black – it often resolves a problem.

As you can see from the blog, I’m a big fan of the Abstract Impressionists and the St.Ives artists – but I go to see as much as possible and am prepared to offer trite comments about any form of art.  The less I know about it the better, I think – it’s the function of bloggers to make uninformed and prejudiced comment and for pro reviewers to do “proper” analysis.  More to come when I can.  Read on, please.
