Editing Kit Williams (section)

==Work==

Kit Williams now primarily works as a figurative painter in which he uses traditional oil-painting techniques, fashioning first a wooden panel covered in linen and oil [[gesso]]. He then uses many layers of opaque and transparent Dutch oil paint to create luminous images.

Williams likes to maintain complete control of every aspect of his artwork including making the clothes worn by the models, creating sets and props, and often making mechanisms either within the frame or the painting that reveal moving elements of the artwork and encourage interaction by the viewer.

Using [[marquetry]], he has always made his own frames which enables him to make pictures of any shape and allow elements of the picture to continue into the frame in often intricate detail.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kitwilliams.co.uk/kitspages/about-kit-williams |title=Kit Williams' Official Website : About Kit Williams |access-date=26 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927171901/http://www.kitwilliams.co.uk/kitspages/about-kit-williams |archive-date=27 September 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
