In the days before digital photography, I made this picture of my corner of the studio with a painting in progress. It is an acrylic on canvas and is from a series of landscapes with figures in them. I don’t remember anything about this one, though I know I don’t know where it is now.

I remember it was satisfying to work on a large scale after concentrating so much on pen and ink drawings on paper, sitting at a desk. I don’t like acrylic paint so much. In the hot climate the paint would dry very quickly (something I liked about watercolour and ink) and I soon changed to oil paint.

I can recommend drum thrones to all painters.
