Anabela Ferguson Watercolor Mixed Media


Painting 2004-2005

I got this powerful mixed media painting from Anabela at one of her exhibits back in 2004 or 2005. What struck me was the wildness, the stormy seas and bright-streaked sky and the sense of movement. For me, the birds became dragons winging across the dark, dangerous ocean, with the sunrise lighting their way home. Imagine my surprise when my practical husband was equally moved by it and decided we must have it!
Such is the power and beauty of Anabela's work. He sees birds, I see dragons, and we both love the way it graces our living room space." L.B.

Oil on Wood

Priming with Gesso
Anabela Ferguson


This oil painting on a wood surface was finished
recently.  I wanted to show this piece to you to tell you that some 
oils can be painted in different surfaces.  For oil paint
to bond to the surface you must add an acrylic or water based
medium.  Oil paints carry linseed oils and they need a strong
medium to bond.  Once the paint has been added and time has been allowed for drying,
give it a firm and thick coat of a reversible damar gloss finish.  
The beauty of priming this piece with gesso is to give those areas like the sky and the water a true texture of nature.
