Painting the Great Outdoors II - Day 1

Thursday, 22 July 2015

Below are a selection of images from today’s art course in South Park Gardens, Wimbledon. For more information on the activities from Day 1 of our summer outdoor painting course see last week’s blog Painting the Great Outdoors - Day 1

This morning, after foraging for natural materials in the park, we made our own paintbrushes and then used our handmade painting tools to create colourful collaborative pictures.

Our lead painter, Matthew Krishanu, demonstrated how best to prepare a board for painting - and then we set about priming our own boards, ready for painting.

We added texture and painted second layers.

We then had fun experimenting with drippy paint…

and painting each other!
