A WIP Background and Inspiration
Recently, I watched the documentary, BBC Michael Palin in Wyeth's World. I learned a lot and was also inspired to start the painted work that you see above. It's a work in progress and I hope to share more as it evolves. If you watch the documentary, I'm eager to hear what you think of it and if it inspires you.
Some Housekeeping:
(Can't make the live session? You'll receive a recording with forever access!)
As
the days get shorter and the light begins to fade, we turn towards
finding whatever light we can. Like sunflowers, we try to capture the
light.
In this workshop, our focus will be on capturing the essence, the feeling and the brilliance of the sunflower.
Note:
while I will be demonstrating primarily with acrylic paint, you may
prefer to explore other mediums (paint markers, crayons, collage, etc...
More on this below.)
This workshop isn't a "recipe" workshop. It
was created to get your hands working and moving across your substrate.
Let's play with color, shape, form and the fundamental principles of
art as we explore the beauty of the sunflower.

“I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious.”
