Dunmow Art Group were lucky enough to meet the lovely Lucia Hardy this evening. Lucia talked to us about her experience on Landscape Artist of the Year, which she entered as one of 50 wildcard artists …and won! It was fascinating to hear how the whole process works! Lucia gave us so much advice about the process of painting! These are a few of the gems she shared with us: - try listening to music that matches the energy of your painting - video movement so you can go frame to frame to find the perfect shot - try using bright backgrounds - try using a limited colour pallet - using a large brush makes you be more gestural, makes you make larger decisions rather than getting bogged down by the detail - use a large brush and then progressively get smaller - explore your freedom of approach by allowing the sub conscious side of the brain to take over - finally…remember making mistakes is a good part of the process! Thank you Lucia, it was so lovely to meet you!
