Painting workshop feedback.

I just wanted to thank everyone that attended the workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday. My ambition was for a re-newed excitement for painting. I certainly went away with this. I think it would have been useful to explore supports for painting and various priming methods in more detail. In the meantime The John Jones web site is worth looking at for this information. I have added this information under art suppliers. Please make any suggestions that you may have for how this type of workshop can be improved, I would be very grateful for your feedback.  Please find some of the initial painting experiments made on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how the work progresses on my next visit in a few weeks time.  Sarah

    The workshop was a good time to just play with paint - not worrying about it going anywhere or becoming something. It can be danting when faced with all the mediums and varnishes etc. but just having the opprtunity to try them was excellent. I think its great that all the examples show promise, completely different ways of using the paint - and really emphasises the importance of learning from other people and from 'doing'.

    [I particularly like the black and white painting!]

    Thanks for your comments Michael.

    I agree that you really only learn to paint by doing it and watching your peers. Working with every one last week made me excited about playing with paint again. I have also started reading "what painting is' my James Elkins. It says on the cover it will "transform the readers understanding of painting" I think it's a great book.

Luc Tuymans  is not shy about admitting that he is easily one of the most influential figurative painters working today. His work - which often deals with heavy historical subjects like the Holocaust and postcolonial guilt - resists easy interpretation. So fans and the creatively curious alike will be delighted by the  Whitechapel Gallery 's launch of  On & By Luc Tuymans , a collection of Tuyman's writings (one of them is appropriately entitled, "I Still Don't Get It") on not only his own ideas and images, but those of El Greco, Giorgio Morandi, and Neo Rauch, to name a few. Edited by historian-publisher Peter Ruyffelaere, it also includes critical essays, dialogues and interviews by art historians, critics, and artists like Ai Wei Wei and Takashi Murakami. I actually managed to catch  Tuymans  after his recent  Whitechapel Gallery  talk in London with art critic Adrian Searle (who also wrote  On & By Luc Tuymans 's introduction) abou...
