``Demo`` at CityScape

Well, I can say that the demo was a huge success! 48 persons came to see our demo and explanation of the process of painting abstract in using your right brain. We couldn't have asked for more than that, the audience was interested, asked question, watched attentively and stayed until the end, which lasted two hours. An amazing experience for all of us.



Three artists came from Vancouver Island, Jill Ehlert, Diane McCarten and Eve Llyndorah. They did the demo while Sara Morison and I talked about the process and lead them to their mission. First we did the square,circle and triangle exercise slow and fast, observed the differences between the two and asked the audience their feedback.
Then I asked the artists to do the repetitive motif exercise and asked the audience to choose a number. Number was 4 was chosen and the artists drew on 36x48 velum paper as many times as they felt like and continued the painting with the colours of their choice to create their paintings.

During that time Sara and I talked about the course with Steven Aimone, Aimone Services that Mary Stewart organizes on the Island Vancouver Island Art Workshops . The paper we use was of a big interest (Velum 90lb) 48inches wide.

We also talked about the book Painters Eleven  that I recently finish reading and truly enjoyed, for different reasons, one being the similarity in process between their work and my work, the fact that they had to open doors to a new style of painting at the time in Canada and being accepted as abstract artists and open new vision of the art at the same time to the public.

I would like to say thank you to Linda Feil and Jo Dunlop for accepting us into the gallery of CityScape and for all of us to show our work together as an abstract group. The cherry on the cake was the demo last Saturday. Just a fantastic experience for all of us!

Enjoy the three pieces of art created (on 90lb velum paper) during the demo!
