Fine Art TV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 10
Episode - 03
Filmed on Location at - Western Australia
In creating her brilliant, free-flowing acrylic paintings, Australian artist Lyn Olsen takes an entirely instinctive approach. Inspired by the palette of her homeland, Olsen throws colour on her blank canvas and sees where it leads her.
Lyn has been painting for 15 years after an early retirement. Travelling Australia with her husband, she takes inspiration from the deserts, rainforests, coasts and vast expanses of this beautiful country. Having lived in most of those areas, Lyn finds herself drawn to the coast, particularly along the East Coast of Australia. The Great Barrier Reef is an incredible source of inspiration for her, right on her doorstep.
Working with acrylics, glazes, inks and charcoal, and using scrapers, spray and drip techniques, and a palette knife, she approaches her canvases from every angle, working intimately with the paint to see what emerges. For Olsen, painting becomes a visceral process in which she blends and merges various media and colours with her hands and fingers, shaping the images to create vibrant works.
While Lyn’s career began as a ‘dabble’ in painting, she is now a full time artist, teaching, exhibiting and holding workshops. She has held exhibitions in New York, Italy, and Miami, and her self-belief has given her the constant driving force to find the next phase of her career.

Love your colors! Can modeling paste be used with oil paints? Thanks for sharing.
Modeling paste is to be used with acrylics.
Can you tell me how the background color for water was put on so well that it is right up to the other parts at the bottom -- it looks like it was painted on first but wasn't according to the demo's (confused)
Graeme, Can you tell us the brand of acrylics......and the brand of inks that Lyn Olsen uses? I really admire her work and would like to try using materials that allow you to step back for a bit and then go back to the piece. She mentioned that her paints stay open for a while, including her inks. Anything that stays open for an hour sounds great to me. Again many thanks for this video. I live in the state of Washington, on the West Coast of the US. And I too love the ocean. Do you know if these products available here?
Judith A Rowland Hi, Lyn uses Chroma Atelier combined with their unlocking formula, give it a go great products
Truly enjoy your style....Do you share a list a of materials and brands of paints?
I use golden acrylics, but am experimenting with inks...what types of Inks do you use?....watercolor, acrylic, etc? LOvely work.
Carol Johnson Hi , yes she is amazing. We will have many more great Artists over time, so I hope you enjoy them all, dont forget to tell other folks about us. This only helps us to keep all of this going for everyone out there, hope all is well, Graeme
what kind of paint does she "dripple" over for the soft coral - white lines? sounds like she said house paint?
