Darele Bisquerra
a creative soul
DRAWING + PAINTING, continued
Continuing to revive and invent while paying close attention to proportion and detail interests me greatly. The potential for describing forms, faces, hands, appendages is limitless. Oil, acrylic, pastels, palette knives, tiny brushes - all of these tools interact with the paint in surprising ways. It is exciting to think of what can be done.
I had a chance to study with some fine people earlier this year; what a privilege !
An Alla Prima Hands course with Sandra Sanchez and a Contemporary Painting Methods course with Jonathan Aller offered and delivered guidance that allowed me to finally relax, experiment and produce a range of studies.
