In the Studio

 

Just had a fantastic if exhausting weekend at a workshop in Edinburgh College of Art. The theme was painting and colour.

Our excellent tutor, Robbie Bushe introduced a variety of methods of painting with acrylic and then we were let loose in the studio.

Colourful buckets and fabrics, the odd skeleton and some other bits and bobs formed a backdrop for our model. Here he is, just exiting my little painting. This was done on a black (payne's grey actually) background.

Other techniques included starting with a tonal monochrome underpainting, that I liked, and a Seurat style approach at which I failed miserably.

Watch this space for an example of my narrative work!
