JOAN LAWSON
From primary school I knew I wanted to draw and paint, and was lucky enough to be accepted for Glasgow School of Art straight out of High School. There I studied Drawing and Painting, under wonderful tutors. After that followed teacher training college, and straight into secondary schools. So I have been a painter/teacher my whole adult life. Teaching for me is a joy. It’s so wonderful to be able to coax talent out of people, many of whom don’t know they have any. I’m glad I have jumped online, and can continue to teach virtually!
Acrylic I won an award from the Glasgow Society of Women Artists for this painting.
Mixed Media Painted from a sketch I did in Arran
Acrylic I’ve enjoyed experimenting with inventive colour and expressive mark making in this image, and intend to do more. Enquiries welcome.
Based on a photo I took at Ayr Races. I completed a series of these paintings a few years ago, they are still quite popular.
