My friend Samantha and I have been taking some art classes. She has a degree in Art and Design, I haven't painted since high school! The first couple of weeks were hard getting back into it and trying to remember techniques and touches that I used to do no problem with acrylic paints! On the fifth Thursday I changed to oils... It was much more satisfying! Two hour sessions for two weeks let me produce this (unfinished) piece of work which I am actually quite proud of!
Unfortunately I am in London today so I couldn't make the class, but next week I will get this bad boy finished and onto the next work! If only for a short amount of time each week it helped me to relax and express another edge to my creative nature. I am thoroughly enjoying the class now and the tutor Robert Wilson is an astonishingly talented and accomplished contemporary artist himself. The picture below is my second attempt at a seascape...I think my style evolved as the classes went on.
The class is at House For An Art Lover in Bellahouston Park. It is a modern build built to the original drawings by Glaswegian renowned architect and interior designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Check their page out below. They run classes for a 12 week block from beginner to more advanced.
