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 link is to the blog 'A year of positive thinking' written by the painter – Mira Schor. I have put this here as I also wish to consider it in more detail. The first thing that strikes me is the appropriation of Otto Dix's work that I think is evident in the work of Contemporary artist, John Currin. What do you think? also not sure what I make of Currins work.
