Paul Hawthorn Artist & Sculptor & Decorative Effects

Paul Hawthorn is an artist and sculptor who has been mastering his skills since an early age. He finds that inspiration comes from his environment and his vivid imagination, creating all kinds of beautiful pieces.

He uses a wide range of mediums including acrylics, and pops into his local Brewers for The Polyvine Decorative Effects range, especially the Acrylic Colourants that provide high colour saturation as they contain high quality acrylic pigments.

Polyvine’s concentrated Acrylic Colourant can be used with all water-based products including scumble glaze, stain, emulsion, varnish and interior paint, glue, filler, masonry paint, tile grout and cement.

Paul also sources natural items such as fallen wood from local Groveley Woods that inspire the mystical side to Paul’s sculptures and imagery, sometimes viewed as being quite deep and thought provoking.

Commissioned wall art is his favourite obsession though! Using unique hand mixed colours from the Polyvine colourants range, along with Polyvine Acrylic Scumble Glaze for techniques when creating wall effects. Scumble Glaze is the ideal varnish for protecting decorative painting and broken colour work.

This recent work was a project undertaken in Salisbury, for a mural depicting Salisbury Cathedral.  You can view this mural on St. Anns Street in Salisbury, and the wonderful effects you see have been created using Polyvine Acrylic Colourants and Scumble Glaze.
