Though I work mostly in oils and watercolours, I also work in various print media, including woodcuts, silk-screen printing, etching, etc., and am at present designing a visual book (limited edition) using modern print technology. Recently I began painting with acrylics again, after some years not using them as a paint medium - I usually use acrylics as a medium for making water-based silk-screen prints.

I sign all my work with my Irish Signature T. McSuibhne -
I sometimes paint frescoes - a medium I first began using in 1985, and which is also one of my favourite media. Fresco is a process of painting on wet lime plaster, using pure pigment mixed with water only.The pigment becomes an intergal part of the plaster - this differs from other forms of painting, where a layer of pigment mixed with a medium is painted on a primed surface.
I have included some Frescos in the Watercolour section, from occasional frescoes I have painted. To me, both media though very different, have a similiar "look" and "feel" - both have the same freshness and luminousity and vitality of colour etc.
