Watching glue dry (with a view)

Maybe I should actually read one of these books while I wait … 😀

It’s the @greendoorart art trail this weekend. I’ll be open from 12-4 both days so do come and see what’s under these piles of books 👋🏼

The link to the online brochure can be found on their IG page.

My Monday group are back after a lovely long summer break.
It’s all about colour and pattern as we make our own collage papers using newsprint.
Tune in next week to see what we do with them!

This painting started off as a demo piece at last

This painting started off as a demo piece at last weekends workshop.
It’s on a very smooth gessoed panel where the paint ‘slip slides’ around. It took a while to develop a way of working with this surface but now I just love it.

Fancy a wander? I thought I would share my process

Fancy a wander?
I thought I would share my process pieces so far as I develop a series of paintings for an upcoming show organised by @wallace_seymour for the @coles_gallery in Leeds. I love the fragility of the Chinese sumo ink paper studies and wanted to take this across to the bigger paintings. Hopefully this idea of collaging and printing with the translucent papers will convey the layering up of experiences on the day.
I was working alongside @i._c.h.r.i.s.t.i.e and I will be sharing some of our collaborative pieces soon. Exciting …

What an inspiration my workshop artists were this

What an inspiration my workshop artists were this weekend. Here’s a selection of photos when I remembered to take some. There will have to be a sequel as they all have so much potential and curiosity.

Now I’m really looking forward to the next one at the end of October 🎨

Gonna need a bigger brush

I have been seduced by the Duddon Valley and, as I work in response to my location studies, the marks are definitely calling out to be more lyrical and calligraphic. I’m working with @wallace_seymour Duddon casein earth paints along with their acrylic paint and inks. I’m so loving where this riverside exploration is taking me.

There have been some further developments inspired

There have been some further developments inspired by the previous post…

I am still loving the cobalt blue as it moves into violet. 💙💜💙

These are actually samples for my acrylic workshop next weekend- I do like to plan the sessions out and then run through them first myself to get my timings right and create examples to share my creative process.

It doesn’t take many marks to turn an abstract into a landscape does it?
