Jill Hammond Bright Flowers from my Garden, water-based oil and acrylic paint, 20x16in (51x40.5cm)
Former art teacher, Jill Hammond, now devotes her time to developing her own work and experimenting with styles and techniques. ‘My work begins with no outlines, or, sometimes, just a few rough marks to map out the composition,’ she says. ‘I may add collage as I go along, or start with inks and rollers to keep it loose, before adding a few lines and blocks of structure, working from the background out to the final details. I rarely use brushes, and find that experimenting is very exciting, often giving unexpected results.
