WORK WITH
Robin Thornhill
Oil | Pastel | Charcoal
The New England coast has been the main source of inspiration for my paintings.
I am endlessly intrigued by the shapes of the ever-changing marshes and sand dunes which vary between the seasons.
I love to carve out the different patterns that nature creates in land and sky.
I primarily work in pastel, oil paints and charcoal.
I use a similar technique in my pastel and oil paintings; using many layers to build up visual texture.
Although I love both mediums, pastel is still my favorite due to its tactile quality, pure color and spontaneity of use.
