I joined in with a small group of artists for life painting this weekend. I haven’t done this sort of thing in a long, long time and it was absolutely incredible. I didn’t go in thinking of creating a masterpiece but went in with the aim to learn more and simply paint. There are a few things I worked out, and they may be basic but bit by bit we learn and (hopefully) improve. One – I need some different paint brushes and Two – get a slower drying medium as I think I’d like to paint more impasto style.

Painting from life gives me the opportunity to think of form in colour. I look forward to doing more.
