Hulson had become interested in the possibility of colouring or patterning sculpture and this now developed into a desire to explore the world of painting. He experimented with acrylics and oils, deciding quite quickly in favour of the latter and, typically, going to considerable lengths to research techniques.
His first paintings were mostly portraits, but his range expanded to include landscape, with a focus on trees, equestrian subjects (Tom Coates PPRBA encouraged him to join the Society of Equestrian Artists), still life and abstracts.
This Portrait of Marc Hulson was awarded a prize at the Annual Exhibition of the Royal Society of British Artists.
