Chosen Women Artists - the inspiration continues...
Hello Creative Souls, This past month has flown by, as they all do, but this was especially exciting as we dove into our chosen women painters and painted like them, remained open to what moved us about their painting technique, style and subjects, and are ready in October to create our own compositions....and anything we learned from and wanted to carry forward in our own work. I chose Pan Yuliang and Suzanne Valadon. Pan Yuliang, especially......I just finished a well researched biographical novel about this amazingly talented artist from China. What a life! Check out The Painter from Shanghai by Jennifer Cody Epstein. Loved this book! Love this artist who bridged Eastern and Western painting styles. The objective for painting our painter's paintings (that's a mouthful) was not to become masterful counterfeiters! But to experience what it is like to paint someone elses decisions...their colors, their shapes, their compositions. And listen quietly to hear their voice....
