0:00:10 > 0:00:14- Elin Huws from Llanbedrog has chosen - this view near Abersoch...

0:00:14 > 0:00:16- ..as a subject for her picture.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20- It's the islands of St Tydwal - and the headland of Trwyn Cilan.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23- Elin made her name as a weaver.

0:00:24 > 0:00:29- But now she's a mother, she's - experimenting with other art forms.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31- Especially paint.

0:00:31 > 0:00:36- I begin the painting in the studio - using oil and acrylic paints.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41- These colours are very bright - in contrast to today's weather.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- I apply them underneath...

0:00:46 > 0:00:51- ..and then they appear again - through the picture.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56- I very rarely use a brush.

0:00:57 > 0:01:03- That's because I use - blocks of colour to begin with.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08- I feel like I'm working closer - with the work.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12- We're still in chaos at the moment.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18- You might be able to see - the idea of a horizon and the land.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- I play with different types - of colour by scratching...

0:01:30 > 0:01:33- ..and adding paint in the same way.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38- I use the knife...

0:01:38 > 0:01:42- ..as if it were a pencil.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- I start with the knife...

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- ..and make these light marks...

0:01:52 > 0:01:54- ..or scribbles - as some might call them.

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- It conveys the idea of the gorse...

0:01:59 > 0:02:01- ..and the wildlife.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I'll use the turps...

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- ..so that I can reveal more layers - under the final layer.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25- There are squiggles here, - so I'm going to make a mark there...

0:02:26 > 0:02:30- ..to show it's the church.

0:02:30 > 0:02:35- It's quite overcast today, but there - are some colours on the land.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41- There is some light colour - on the sea.

0:02:41 > 0:02:42- Since I became a mother...

0:02:43 > 0:02:46- ..there is a limit to how much - artwork I can do in a day.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51- I also do more painting and drawing - rather than weaving.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Some have said that my work - has become more colourful.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I don't know - whether that's a sign of happiness.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I'm using gold leaf.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07- That brings a flash of light - to the work.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15- Through The Mist.
