Clare Shepherd

Artist & Teacher

Great experiments with shape and colour...

...and layering with watercolour. Note the revealed light shapes.

A delightful mixed media..

...called 'Upside-down and Inside-out'. Full of windy-day movement.

Another lovely collage...

...textures of the paper creating an enchanting background for the leaves.

Wonderful collage landscape...

...fantastic use of the textures of the papers and lovely addition of paint. Perfect diminishing colours as we look into the distance.

beautiful loosely painted poppy...

...in wonderful colours, lovely combination of pink and red. Posted with its working drawing in charcoal.

Such a great portrait of...

...Jarvis the Cocker!! Lovely use of collage - witty and clever use of images from magazines and newsprint textures and colours.

A wonderful start to an explorative project...

...looking at the work of Mary Fedden. Fabulous colour changes and luminosity.

Lovely classic watercolour painting.

...for this gourds still-life. Great use of 'the Planet Exercise' and fantastic revealed lights and dark tones. Some lovely...

Mixed media collage..

..titled 'Civilisation'. A fabulous piece harking back to the vorticism movement of the early 20th century.

More in this loose and lovely series...

...finding the balance between allowing the paint to be both controlled and to do its own thing. Lovely colours, edges and softened areas...
