Demonstration By Martin Laurance

Demo, Martin Laurance 24 November 2018​

We had a full house as we were treated to an unusual and versatile demonstration by Martin Laurance.
Martin brought with him many sketchbooks and several large paintings and various works in progress.
He explained that he is essentially a studio painter, working only from the copious drawings made from observation and contained in his sketch books.
He said that all his work is based on the feeling of a place and sketch books are all drawings for information.
Martin brought several of his works in progress to work on and demonstrated his different techniques, materials and subjects.
“My approach changes according to what I want to say, and in a painting my materials come from the subject matter. I base my work on the feeling and energy of a place”
Today we saw him working with inks, acrylic paint, collage, liquid watercolour and frequently using sticks, various credit cards, pens, brush, ink dropper etc
We saw him work on some Cornish scenes, Orford Ness, Nidderdale, and Cart Gap near Happisburgh. He described all of these as “ works in progress”
For my part, it was an inspirational and thought provoking afternoon and I feel sure that all the members present will also have gained lots of ideas for different ways of developing a painting.
