A Simple Still-Life: A “How To” Film.

Here’s a short (2 minute) “How To” film from a recent session I ran at GS Artists in Swansea, as part of their 9to90 Community Arts programme. It was a simple still-life in acrylic paints. The film shows how I started with a couple of basic drawing techniques and then took a look at some examples of still-life paintings of my own before moving on to getting stuck into the painting.

I really love the 9to90 Community Arts programme, it’s rare to have free public art sessions that include many people who might not normally go into art galleries. Jane Simpson and her colleagues at GS Artists have made the gallery so welcoming and informal. The film was shot and edited by Melvyn Williams and is narrated and sub-titled in English.
