A very useful on-line tutorial as usual from Emma very much focussed of the actual process of painting. We discussed the use of glazes to create thin layers of paint with Emma suggesting I think about how the brush feeds the paint over the canvas. We agreed that I was relying too much on drawing with the paint rather than allowing the layers to build up.
We discussed the exhibition which is booked in for May at the Ballroom Arts gallery in Aldeburgh and the practical aspects that will need to be considered for the exhibition.
Action points
Be a bit more like a dancer – be attentive to your brush and how it meets the canvas. Try skating across the surface of the paint.
Build from your grisaille more radically so you are creating forms through layers rather than lines
