Paul Talbot-Greaves demonstration



Had a demonstration by acrylic and watercolour artist Paul Talbot-Greaves at the Blackpool Art Society (last Thursday - sorry I've got way behind with my blogs due to my exhibition promotion etc)
Anyway he is a very good demonstrator and easy to follow - not just interested in a routine polished finished product, but looked at it as an individual piece of art work.  Also liked the way he sketches the tone in on the trees and then leaves it there to paint over.  The highlight for me though was the way he dealt with the undergrowth (this as you may now have guessed was a landscape!) by flicking paint at it and some areas just scumbling it in, almost like doing calligraphy.
