#TOAFtakeover Hello! I'm @davidwightmanpainter and this is my #takeovertuesday as part of @theotherartfair. Welcome to my #painting #studio - yes it really does look like this! I'll be posting insights into my work all day. Stay tuned. #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover Each of my #paintings starts with a #cartoon #drawing. Here's my #preparatory #sketch for #Ottoline with #colour ideas. #takeovertuesday #theotherartfair #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover Pages from my #sketchbook with #colour ideas. Experimenting with different #pigments #tones #tints #shades and #complementary + #harmonious #colours is a daily obsession. #takeovertuesday #theotherartfair #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover More #sketchbook madness. Every #colour I mix is assigned its own abbreviated name. Can you work any of them out? Clue: TW = Titanium White #takeovertuesday #theotherartfair #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover My studio has a mantelpiece. It's great as a shelf for all of my pots of #acrylic #paint from #pyrroleorange to #ivoryblack. Above are two new #landscape #paintings for #theotherartfair #takeovertuesday #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover The surfaces of my paintings are made from #wallpaper using a #collage technique similar to #marquetry. I have a collection of different rolls of wallpaper from #vintage #textures to familiar #patterns. My favourites are those that remind me of my childhood #home #theotherartfair #takeovertuesday #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover New #paintings for #theotherartfair. Each #artwork depicts a #fictional #landscape of #beautiful and #colourful #lakes and #mountains #takeovertuesday #davidwightman



 
#TOAFtakeover Favourite #new #acrylic and #collaged #wallpaper #painting finished for #theotherartfair. Really looking forward to hanging this #neopop #beauty at the October #TOAFis10 fair. I am #davidwightman and this has been my #takeovertuesday. Thank you and good night! You can follow me at: @davidwightmanpainter
