I spent four days at Paintbox School of Art in a collage workshop tutored by Kitty Jones. This concertina mixed media drawing with collage was one of my final pieces. We managed to work outside every day despite the vagaries of the Scottish weather!
The following week, I spent three days oil painting en plein air with Damian Callan’s group. The sun shone every day! I made three paintings, two still to finish, but this is finished and definitely the best one.
I’m very busy preparing work for Printmakers of Scotland annual Festival of Printmaking at University of Stirling from 15 to 17 August and bound : unbound’s exhibition ‘On the Same Page’ at Upright Gallery Edinburgh 6-26 September.
I’ve also signed up to two workshops, one at Paintbox Art School and the other with Damian Callan. Both of these centred round the harbours at Cockenzie and Port Seton in East Lothian.
This week I’m drawing for a few hours at Redhall Walled Garden in Edinburgh.
So all go!
