Methods Paul Brown prepares most of his art materials by hand using only the finest linens for his canvasses and preparing boards for his panel paintings. He uses mediums taken from proven old master recipes and makes his own paints. Careful selection of the finest pigments and a thorough grinding into cold-pressed linseed oil ensures the finest colours are used in his pictures.
