The attached is a collage that I made on the weekend. It was in Warkwarth at Brian Smith's workshop on PORTRAITURE - Representation to Abstraction. See the face? We started with a sketch of a live model (below) and abstracted it as a collage (above). I am still experimenting with the painting... I will post it when its done. I highly suggest taking a workshop run by Brian. This is the 3rd workshop that I have attended. There are also books and DVDs by him available. He is an excellent artist, he is funny and entertaining and you will learn a lot. Check out his web site www.drawn2life.com See Brian at work below :) A very special thanks to Spirit of the Hills, all the volunteers and, specifically, Diane Arsenault for a great weekend :) www.spiritofthehills.org
As an artist, I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to paint and draw without boundaries. My style is largely experimental with an emphasis on landscape and abstract art. I never set out to replicate an image but instead strive to convey a mood or evoke an emotion using loose lines, rich textures and bold colours.
