Paint Along With Karen

At Cornerstone Arts Centre (on 14th March 2020) I ran a Paint Along With the Artist workshop as part of International Women's Week.  

​Using acrylics has the main benefit of drying fairly quickly so we could add layers and do some acrylic flow with some success.  The them was going to be zoning areas of square blocks but it became very apparent that I could not 'box' people into doing this. Instead I encouraged different shapes of colour areas. Acrylic flow then integrate or differentiated these zones, plus it added an element of chaos to the order. This certainly contributed to energising the artworks, which were very static.

'Expression' by Karen L French

Well done to the 7 artists for their stunning 'expressions' of themselves!
