SPEED PAINTING


When COVID-19 and the lockdown came upon us in March,  2020 my mentor Justin Van den Berg suggested that we do a speed painting to hone in our skills using a medium that i was recently introduced to, Cobra water soluble oils. Every Wednesday and Saturday I would receive a message with the picture and off we went. The only rule was that the painting was to start and finish on the same day. Many lessons were learnt doing this type of painting, especially with oils! I became very mindful where I was going to put the paint! A series of paintings all measuring 42 x 59 cm, all on rolled canvas (except for the first fish... I had not pick up that trick yet!)
