Acrylics
Acrylic paint offers the ideal medium for experimenting with texture and various abrading techniques which are a key factor in Jill McIntosh´s work. Innovative use of acrylics and foil, subtle application techniques and a keen eye for composition readily coalesce to form the foundation for Jill´s distinctive style. Acrylfarbe und Folie, raffnierte Anwendungsmethoden und ein geschultes Auge für den Bildaufbau sind wichtige Grundwerkzeug die Jill´s kennzeichenden Stil definieren. |

Prussian Blue, Phthalo Blue and Ultra Blue form many of the base colours in Jill Mcintosh´s palette. Together with chromatic black, (a mix of Prussian Blue, Alizarin Crimson and Burnt Sienna) these carefully mixed and blended pigments give the subtle nuances of colour which dominate her work. |
Using palette knives to apply paint instead of brushes is a fundamental technique which Jill McIntosh utilises extensively to create exciting textures and structured surfaces. This method of paint application is illustrated perfectly in her composition "Don´t Let Go!" ( See painting top right in progress: acrylic and foil on canvas) |
