Hashim Akib Workshop

Network Arts workshop featured a demo from Hashim Akib - an artist who uses a really wide (5') flat brush and acrylic paint. No mixing just heavy loading of paint. Attempted a couple of pieces using the same technique although I didn't have a wide enough brush.

Love the photo this is painted from. Second time I've painted it, bit looser this time. Might be an entry for the Art in the Park exhibition.

Park again

Another go at that park shot with long shadows. Darker, smaller size.

Abstract / landscape in oils

Today at the www.networkarts.co.uk workshop our tutor was Mo Teeuw. Great workshop, working on landscapes / abstraction in oils. Seriously considering painting holiday to Morrocco now.

A friend took this photograph of The Racecourse in Northampton the other day - perfect opportunity to paint it. If I had planned a bit better I would have printed it out rather than trying to paint from a pic on my phone.
