Moss Street Paint in-

Wow, how inspiring. What an amazing collection of artists.   I found a few people who's work I really felt a connection to so I am posting an image of one of their works and a web address.

First is Desiree Bond.  I love the conte on acrylic method. Would like to explore this further in my own work.
Desiree Bond Artist
















Another artist work drew me in was Kate Carson from Art Corner.
Art Corner - Kate Carson Artist + Instructor - Victoria BC

I think what both these artists have in common are


  1. Dark, broken sensitive line 
  2. Geometric shapes within the image 
  3. Texture
  4. Layering

I like the idea of the structure coming in on top of the expressive gestures of the paint. It is kind of the opposite of the techniques that I am exploring now (under painting) is more like (over drawing).
This technique is an interesting combination of abstraction and realism, drawing and painting.
