Watching an experienced artist doing a Painting Demonstration can be a great help in understanding some of the techniques and methods that you can use if you’re looking to develop your own craft. When I’m doing a demonstration I will usually work on several paintings over the duration of the lesson so that no time is lost waiting for the paint to dry.
I’ve held a number of watercolour demonstrations at Northern Counties in Newcastle. The last one was titled The Art of Prison. I spoke about my experiences of working with prisoners in some of the regions prisons for Junction 42. The guests were given the chance to ask a wide range of questions. It wasn’t just about watercolour techniques, but also about the challenges of working in a prison.
Whether you are an experienced painter or just a beginner I’ve no doubt that you will gain some benefit from watching me paint. As a taster, why not watch this short video of me painting on location.
