On Saturday I had the pleasure to be back in Nottingham with the Spotted Dog Art Group.
They rose magnificently to the challenge of abstracting landscapes through colour and brushwork.
As you can see here from the landscape inspiration, use of colour and being able to see things differently were the keys to success.
And it didn’t matter what kind of landscape scene it was (above is industrial, below coastal) the artists successfully abstracted through colour changes and seeing in shapes.
Everyone kept their own artistic signature whilst all having the same input and ideas on how to start and develop their work into the non-representative and this is what I find endlessly fascinating and exciting about teaching and working alongside other artists.
I count myself lucky when work is such a pleasure – if I lived near Nottingham, I’d join in a heartbeat.
Until next year…
I’m popping in to let you know that Winterbourne House and Gardens have booked me for a day of painting fun on July 2nd. You can view the details here if you’re interested – we will be collaging canvases, having fun mark making and using the beautiful gardens to gather and sketch ideas to paint. And if your worried about your artistic abilities – don’t! I always have reference books and tracing paper tucked away 😉
I’ve also ordered sunshine so that we can eat ice creams and enjoy the grounds!
