Details, not Detail with Colley Whisson

Paint & Clay

So often as a teacher, Colley sees his students face the the temptation to add more visual information in the hopes of improving their painting. But these are the wrong sorts of "details" to focus on when painting, and can actually serve as a distraction from the aspects of painting we should be considering.

About the Artist: "I have long believed “It’s not what you paint but how you paint it”. With this in the fore-front of my mind I’ve dedicated myself to developing my skills to the highest level possible. I’m aiming to tell a visual story with clarity and sophistication but I am also driven to distort and abstract the image as much as possible while still maintaining a realistic image. I am deeply honoured to be able to regularly hold exhibitions, tutoring appointments, judging and demonstrations in Australia and abroad. To carry the tag as quoted "one of Australia’s finest Impressionist painters" is a great personal achievement."
