workshop demo


workshop demo

Saturday, August 8th, 2009 I did a demo at the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Melbourne. The focus was on texture and color. I showed several ways to create texture on my painting surface. The next step, before deciding on the composition was to start adding several layers of color.
I took the piece to my studio and continued to work, now planning out my composition. I am now adding paint and making decisions on what stays and what goes. That constant challenge that I deal with until a piece is deemed finished. "Finished", the magic word. Then I get to do it all again.
