Oil Paintings

Contemporary fine art representational oil paintings on a variety of supports including traditional stretched canvas, canvas mounded on wooden panes and oil painting on  wooden panes. Roger uses a wide range of techniques for his oil paintings produced from real life, his imagination or from reference photography. Roger works by producing a detailed freehand under drawing or drawing from reference material or just painting directly onto the canvas or wooden panel without any under-painting.  Most of Rogers current oil paintings are intentionally colourful with minimal use of black. Working in a semi realistic style for the most part with some abstraction in some of the artworks. Roger often spends a significant period of time on each artwork. Many are painted first in acrylics and then painted over in using professional grade oils
