Beryl trained in London and her work has featured in numerous exhibitions including The Royal Society of British Artists, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Watercolour Society.
Her canvasses may be found in offices and hotels around the world –
London, New York, Riyadh – as well as closer to home. Beryl is in
constant demand as a speaker with a difference – she paints while
she talks. Visit her web site at www.berylmaile.com.Beryl has chosen to work with a minimum of materials for this series. She uses tubes of acrylic paint in eight colours, a one-and-a-half inch brush and a water colour brush. Chunks of ordinary foam rubber sponge are used to dampen the paper and also to paint with and a small plastic palette knife adds effect in a number of ways. Charcoal, pencils and a putty rubber are used for drawings. The paper is Bockingford, quite heavy with a slight texture. All these materials are available from art shops around the region.
