'I posted this before as my inspiration after the Focus On - painting from photos class. I entered it in a competition and I won first prize. Here are the comments from the idependent judge. And yes, Martin it is the Isle of Wight Art Club' Its been a wonderful experience these two years working with the school and finding new friends in the StudioTalk group. We are so fortunate to be able to communicate in this way about the things we love most in life'
The competition Judges critique is was...
"It is the one painting that escapes most successfully from being a painted photograph. The use of colour is imaginative and very well balanced and the main cliff face is particularly successful. Although the paint is laid on flat it successfully creates atmosphere and light whilst still being a good representation of the scene. A clear winner which puts painterly qualities before representation but still represents accurately.”
What an amazing critique! We couldn't be more proud of Anne and really hope she enjoys her champagne moment! Learning to paint away from photographs, and create works which are not simply stiff paintings off photos, but punchy and painterly original works from photos is not just a brilliant achievement but and a huge step in becoming a more critically successful painter. We all look forward to reading of Anne's next success and seeing more pictures from Anne on StudioTalk
Well done from all of us x
