It is an excellent 'on holiday' experience, being light and easy to pack, and makes a fabulous gift

as you can see in the videos it contains some nice heavy paper in there to create some good works on - and the final page is taped off to show how having a crisp border can increase the quality and lift your work

This workshop is all about an easy technique that helps you to free yourself up and accept a bit of chaos on your canvas -

I spent many months working out the process and would love to share it all here with you in a series of simple steps

EASY STAGES

* This project book naturally breaks up into easily achievable stages

* It is simple and great fun

* this technique will help a beginner create a complete painting

* and is a wonderful addition to the skills of the accomplished artist



Before I went completely abstract - I first became absorbed in mark making

It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation

Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can be a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling

As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting

Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
