My first big and 'real' painting
Of
all of the creative disciplines in existence, painting is the one that I
never really felt I could "get". Other than basic dabbling, I never
really got into it.
Recently I was introduced to visiting artist, Omesh Cain and his partner. I checked out Omesh's website (http://www.omeshcain.com/) and, while reading how he described 'Creativity' and 'Inspiration', something resonated and I felt: "I want to do a workshop with him."
He invited me to come to their home to paint, saying: "You will need to paint for the entire day"—and he would show me various techniques.
To cut a long story short, the painting shown here emerged in about 6 hours or less. I did not think about it or plan what it would be. The first few hours were spent applying layer after layer randomly and without thought to the canvas. At a certain point Omesh told me to look at the painted surface and see whatever was coming out of it. After a while I saw the eye of a horse ... and the rest flowed from there. It was like magic. It was all there already.
I am hooked.
Omesh will be giving a one-day workshop in Tobago in October. From experience, I assure you it is definitely worth attending. Details are below:
