Alternative Ways to Capture the Landscape: Inspiration and Artistic Voice with Kit Bell AFCA
Over the past four years, my artistic journey has shifted towards printmaking and mixed media and, from the wider view of nature and the landscape, to a focus on a close view of botanicals. During our first fishing trip to Northern Manitoba in 4 years, I faced an interesting dilemma.
In this presentation and demo, I'll explore innovative methods beyond traditional sketching and painting to document and express the beauty of the landscapes we encounter.
Whether you're a seasoned artist or a curious traveler, join me as I dive into unique techniques and tools that can help you capture the essence of your journey and the places you visit. Discover new ways to record our trips and tell our stories through art.
