Last of Kandinsky for now!

This is the last idea from the course I’ve been following. Loosely based on his Upward (1929).

Moving on now to another of my favourite artists: Klimt…

Lydia Rink Art Mixed Media Festival

I have been participating in this: 10 artists’ lessons and a Facebook page to show my results. Not everyone who was signed up posted their work which was a shame as it was nice to see what other people made of the demos. Here are the pieces I posted which I did in my A4 concertina sketchbook to keep them in one place. One demo was intended to be folded into a minibook and another was to make a triptych but otherwise it was okay done this size and the paper of the book is surprisingly resilient to gesso, ink, glue etc.

Kids’ Art Week!

Thank you, Carla, for another free Kids’ Art Week! (Last year’s lessons are still available here.)

I’m posting my efforts here this time:

‘Brave’ surprises for the tutor!

Pip Harrison (my co-author on the fairy tales) and I went to a workshop led by Jane Moran at Pallant House (Plait-Weave-Play). Here are our creations.

Pip also made a ‘Useful Pot to Keep [very light] Things In’ – maybe dreams…
