Oil pastel and ink painting
The students will use techniques described on my website and my article published in Artist's Palette magazine.
​
These involve working from thumbnails to a full sized 57 x 76 cm painting on Arches cotton rag paper. They are taught to make and use reed pens working loosely with Indian ink creating marks inspired by Van Gogh's ink drawings.
​
Then create a colourful layered oil pastel painting with colour patches influenced by Pierre Bonnard and the Fauves.
​
The painting is then destroyed with archival pigment based ink and allowed to dry.
​
Through a process of discovery using a palette knife and scraping listening to the painting, a new work emerges from your imagination.
