Description
This series began in a workshop run by the amazing artist and tutor Ashley Hanson. In the workshop we first looked at the work of the American abstract painter Joan Mitchell with her wonderful mark making and then responding to our favourite song of the extraordinary singer, songwriter and artist Joni Mitchell. In this case my favourite song of hers is “Big Yellow Taxi”. Before the workshop, I listened to the song numerous times and did 6 studies in acrylic and inks on paper, I then used these studies to help me in the workshop. This painting is a mixed media picture on thick paper made with collage, ink, acrylic, posca pens and probably other stuff as well.
