Hello All.
Last week I spotted a free taster course by British abstract artist Louise Fletcher . The aim is to find your own art style, the things that you love to do the most in your art. Louise had some exercises to help us to do that.
Here's my art from the first exercise.
I didn't have a large sheet of paper that we needed, so I used cardboard from the side of a large box. The colours I chose were aquamarine, naphthol AS hue, and yellow iron oxide. I loved this exercise, and the results it produced.
The tape I peeled off the painting is very pretty too.
I added some butterfly ladies for Mia's Butterfly theme at Art Journal Journey.
The next two paintings are from the second exercise.
I loved this last exercise, and the whole course has shown me how much I love creating abstract mixed media art. I adore the colours I chose to use too.
Thanks for dropping by today,

ReplyDeleteI am sorry I was unable to leave comments yesterday. I tried several times, but blogger hates me.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love those abstracts. I'm going to try to sign up for that course, too because I LOVE abstract art. You created some incredible pieces and the mixed media ones from the last day are truly incredible. I love, love, love your style and the colors you chose, too. These rock!
The course brought you a lot to design this artwork in a completely different way and the others have become so beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it,Happy weekend, hug Elke
Fabulous paintings Alison I love them all

Alison you do abstract so well, I LOVE the colours you chose. Using tape always makes art work so much more uniform framing each little work of art and the bonus of having handmade washi tape. I can see you really enjoyed this course.

Wow, you are a natural at it! Have to Pin these as this has been a goal of personal study for me but I haven't made progress as I went down a rabbit hole over all the different kinds -- what to copy -- I see this and think I should have just been playing, who cares what kind, lol. These are fabulous, all worthy of framing! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely in love with abstract mixed media. And your works are SUPER, Alison. It must have been a very interesting workshop. Hugs, my friend, and thank you for joining again my challenge at AJJ.
