Easter has been and gone and we’re it’s so lovely that we’re heading into warmer months. My favourite time of year. I have been busy painting and have been continuing to work on some large Dartmoor paintings. I like to rely very much on my memory of my trips to Dartmoor and my sketchbooks help with this. Here are a couple of paintings I have recently completed. Wild Moor is available now on my website. https://belindareynell.com/product/wild-moor-100-x-80-x-4-cm-oil-on-canvas/
Excited to say my painting “Dancing Light” reached the Extended Longlist of the Jackson’s Art Prize again this year! This painting also available on my website. https://belindareynell.com/product/dancing-light-oil-on-canvas-framed-63-x-53-x-3-5-cm/
I’ve been busy running workshops including black and white collage, pen and wash, mixed media and large canvases all inspired by Dartmoor. There will be more to come including an en plein air drawing morning on Dartmoor. There have been great results. I particularly liked the mini paintings in water mixable oil. We worked on 4 paintings in one go and finished with 12 each!
