-Elin Huws from Llanbedrog has chosen

-this view near Abersoch...

0:00:100:00:14

-..as a subject for her picture.

0:00:140:00:16

-It's the islands of St Tydwal

-and the headland of Trwyn Cilan.

0:00:160:00:20

-Elin made her name as a weaver.

0:00:210:00:23

-But now she's a mother, she's

-experimenting with other art forms.

0:00:240:00:29

-Especially paint.

0:00:290:00:31

-I begin the painting in the studio

-using oil and acrylic paints.

0:00:310:00:36

-These colours are very bright

-in contrast to today's weather.

0:00:360:00:41

-I apply them underneath...

0:00:430:00:46

-..and then they appear again

-through the picture.

0:00:460:00:51

-I very rarely use a brush.

0:00:540:00:56

-That's because I use

-blocks of colour to begin with.

0:00:570:01:03

-I feel like I'm working closer

-with the work.

0:01:050:01:08

-We're still in chaos at the moment.

0:01:090:01:12

-You might be able to see

-the idea of a horizon and the land.

0:01:150:01:18

-I play with different types

-of colour by scratching...

0:01:260:01:30

-..and adding paint in the same way.

0:01:300:01:33

-I use the knife...

0:01:340:01:38

-..as if it were a pencil.

0:01:380:01:42

-I start with the knife...

0:01:430:01:46

-..and make these light marks...

0:01:470:01:51

-..or scribbles

-as some might call them.

0:01:520:01:54

-It conveys the idea of the gorse...

0:01:540:01:59

-..and the wildlife.

0:01:590:02:01

-I'll use the turps...

0:02:080:02:11

-..so that I can reveal more layers

-under the final layer.

0:02:120:02:15

-There are squiggles here,

-so I'm going to make a mark there...

0:02:210:02:25

-..to show it's the church.

0:02:260:02:30

-It's quite overcast today, but there

-are some colours on the land.

0:02:300:02:35

-There is some light colour

-on the sea.

0:02:370:02:41

-Since I became a mother...

0:02:410:02:42

-..there is a limit to how much

-artwork I can do in a day.

0:02:430:02:46

-I also do more painting and drawing

-rather than weaving.

0:02:460:02:51

-Some have said that my work

-has become more colourful.

0:02:520:02:56

-I don't know

-whether that's a sign of happiness.

0:02:560:02:59

-I'm using gold leaf.

0:03:000:03:02

-That brings a flash of light

-to the work.

0:03:020:03:07

-Through The Mist.
