This is Jim Harker our artist for La Pashe he is busy in this photograph working on the new images for Flippin' Men, we have a brain storming session when starting a new project and lots of laughing and enthusiasm thinking up new images and ideas often changing them along the way until we are completely happy.
I love to watch Jim work and to be honest it is rather magical thinking of images and watching them come to fully blown art work, Jim has a style which I love.
He once told me never to wash the paint palette as you may make a new colour from colours you have already blended I'm a bit hopeless on this front as I don't like to get my trays dirty and tend to wipe them clean as I'm going but when I see Jim painting and blending an array of colours I understand fully that I'm doing it wrong.
Below is a few palettes that Jim has been using whilst working on the Flippin' Men. You can see just how many colours he works with.

Jak that is so lovely to see the Artist behind the La Pashe at work.
Can understand what he is sayingabout the pallettes though but I am like you and clean them off when I do get to use them which isnt often.
Good Luck with this new range.
