Tomorrow’s the last Friday in March. The Sun’s shining. We made it, we’re clear. Brand new for this Summer I’ll be bringing you my artwork in some special online sales.
These deals will be available in my store at ianelliot.vendder.com and because these exclusive deals are online I am able to offer them to you at a greatly discounted price compared to those you’d find in an exhibition. Dispatched by myself - the artist - directly to your door you’ll find the buying process fast, efficient and rewarding.
Be sure to check back regularly to see what’s in-store, and pick up a deal while you can. Each item will only be available for a short while.

I was recently featured in International Artist magazine. The article was titled ‘Travel Opens the Eyes… and the Mind’ and covered my art, influences and working method. In the below posts I illustrate the different stages of a work entitled Rendevouz, Mallorca which was a 20×20″ oil on canvass piece shown in the ten page article. International Artist magazine on Ian Elliot:
“Painting from source materal is one thing, but this artist says nothing gives a painting extra dimension than being on location and taking in the sights, sounds and aromas.”

Now for the Sea. You will have noticed that I worked with certain colours as mixing agents. These colours now become central to my foreground areas. The basic sea colours have so many variations according to depth, distance, sky clarity etc.
My first stroke, seen in stage four, is a mixture of Cobalt Blue and permanent Mauve, creating a band of strong, rich colour stretching ascorss the canvass and defining the meeting of land and sea. At this stage I use another 25mm brush and mix Cerulean Blue a touch of Winsor Green and Titanuim White, and using a small brush slap on the colour, around the outline of the central shapes.
