We were told to bring any medium we fancied using together with an A3 size piece of paper, canvas etc. So armed with all of this we all began to arrive at the hall in readiness of what exactly? We didn’t know…..
Brian had photocopied black and white prints of a man’s face and told us that we were to consider colour combinations and colour opposites and to, in the words of the ‘Frozen’ song, let it go!
Brian did a short demonstration using acrylic paints and dabbing colours not blending, he worked from the nose out and all the chatter began to stop and we were all deep in concentration from there on in.
It was a really fun evening, we worked in colours that I am sure probably non of us would have used and we all produced an image, possibly not quite like the photograph, but they were all really good and so very different from one another too.
Thank you Brian for another very interesting workshop.
