STUDY BRUSH 8 NEEF 95 FLAT STIFF SYN SERIES 1

A finish in one day 60 x 50cm.
I have set myself the task of creating works with only one size brush to push the boundaries on my art practice a little more.
By doing this detail will either become more important OR less important depending on the size of the brush.
This one is using a @neefaustralia brush - BRUSH size 8 NEEF 95 FLAT STIFF SYNTHETIC (i don't use hog bristle for ethical reasons, this synthetic brush gives the same)
A larger brush, so lovely to work with, it was very freeing to not bog down on detail for a change. Colours kept fairly neutral to concentrate on the brush strokes and less on colour mixing

Specialising in contemporary still life, Alicia works primarily in oils. Her compositions are a graceful fusion of natural elements and vintage design — a reflection of her many years in the antiques and interiors industry. Her paintings range from bold and vibrant to soft and pastel-toned, always with a focus on structure, layered glazes, and fine detail.

Deeply inspired by the changing seasons and the surrounding national parks, Alicia’s work captures both the serenity and richness of her environment. Her art has been exhibited and collected across Australia and internationally, and she is proudly represented by a number of galleries nationwide.
