Your paintings
Thank you Chris Hall ( Wednesday class) for sending in this painting.
This was the first painting I ever did that I felt confident to display. It started out as a copy of a photo (featuring a vast landscape) in a newspaper, at that time other peoples photos was my sole source of inspiration. Whilst painting in class Rob walked by and stopped to see what I was about, and asked me what inspired me to paint the image. I remember waxing lyrical about the tree shape, back-ground colour, mist and reflections. Rob then asked why I was not painting what had inspired me. After much discussion and thumb sketching the outline of this painting emerged. It was without doubt the moment that changed me approach to painting - THANK YOU ROB!
Please end us in anything you have drawn painting that you enjoyed doing, with a few words about why you enjoyed doing it or how it helped you to feel more confident . Remember, it does not even have to be finished.
