SATURDAY WORKSHOP

See below works by Johnny Fokker, member of Bearpark Artist's Co-operative - he quite often uses grids as a starting point for his paintings. (Paintings 350mmsquare)

Decided  to work on small scale (505x405mm)

·         Base coat grey/purple scored through when wet to provide underlying grid

·         Exploration of colour within this matrix

                                                                                            

        Technically quite difficult to score grid throuh before acrylic dries                                

Fine brush control required working up grid withiout any masking off


Result - need to exploit properties of small brushmarks as is virtually impossible to produce uniform colour uptake.
