"Drydock" In this collage painting I wanted you

"Drydock"

In this collage painting I wanted you to feel as though you're in amongst boats and cranes in the harbour/dock, it feels industrial and you can see the activity on the horizon line, created with just a few marks.
Size - 48cm x 67cm

You can see this collage painting and many more at the White Fox Gallery in Coldstream on the Scottish Borders @whitefox_gallery #Coldstream https://karenstampercollage.com/urban-shoreline/drydock/

Raining here today. A good time to tidy collage papers!

I need to this every once in awhile, otherwise I can’t find anything. These are the tidy boxes- there is a big pile of larger pieces in the corner 🤣

Here's what others are saying about Free Up Your Sketchbook and Grow...

"Karen, I am floored by the quantity and quality of inspiration and direction in this course; even if it were 1/2 as long I would feel the same!"

"This has been a most marvellous course. I have loved all of the work and it does what it promises. It has freed me up. Both mentally and in my mark making and in my expectations of myself."

If you would like to join us there is still time to organise your book and art materials. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Building up layers and trying to bring the freshne

Building up layers and trying to bring the freshness and freedom of my sketchbook pages to the canvas.

Jumping to a big piece is always hard, everything needs upscaling - tools, brushes, whole body movement, studio walls and music volume! ( I did have a good singalong with Burt Bacharach on @bbc6music this morning 🎵🙂)

"Working Harbour" another piece I have recently finished which can be seen Thomas Henry Gallery, #Newlyn https://karenstampercollage.com/.../working-harbour-newlyn/

Newlyn harbour is one of my favourite places to sketch

I find I can sit on the harbour wall and wait as the fishing trawlers rise up in front of me with the tide.
Sometimes I am looking directly at them, sometimes they drop down as the tide recedes and I have an aerial view.
I work with the mixed media in my sketchbook and then back in the studio I re-create the atmosphere of this working harbour in paper collage and acrylics.

You can see this painting and many more at @thomashenrygallery
Size - 30cm x 30cm

So excited to be sharing this piece!
"Glorious Rust" can be seen with @little_buckland_gallery at the @freshartfair on the 10th - 12 June!

My inspiration for this piece was taken from a wonderful rusty small ship whilst on holiday in Crete last year.

There are many layers of paper and paint in this painting and lots of worn surfaces!
Dimensions - 106cm x 106cm

About Me

After attending Art College in Yorkshire I headed south, with my sketchbooks in hand to far sunnier countries: Turkey, Greece, India, Morocco, the Caribbean, and then eventually settling in New Zealand before returning to the UK ten years later.. Read More
