seaviewwarrenpoint creative reflections seaviewwarrenpoint creative reflections skip to content home about older posts trying new things posted on april 15 2026 by seaviewwarrenpoint i have decided to seek some inspiration for creating art as i ve had the equivalent of writer s block recently when it comes painting i have therefore been attending a few workshops in order to get expert advice using different mediums first up was oils and i really enjoyed a one day masterclass with dublin artist ed reynolds resulting in this still life then i went to a chalk pastel workshop organised locally by the rathfriland rejuvenation group and produced this piece my next attempts were under the expert guidance of textile artist deirdre mcclorey we are both members of the rostrevor art group and deirdre kindly let us loose with her stash of merino wools and donegal tweed offcuts i was pleasantly surprised by these resulting needle felt scenes of the mourne countryside and now thanks again to deirdre i have embarked upon a six week watercolour course this will be the most challenging for me as i am not a delicate painter by any means usually thick acrylic oil paint blended on canvas with fingers so this medium seems unforgiving however i must say the first class was very enjoyable when we went back to the basics starting with mark making and colour mixing i m really looking forward to the next session posted in uncategorized 4 comments featured on charlotte digregorio s daily haiku 30th march posted on april 15 2026 by seaviewwarrenpoint daily haiku with marion clarke march 30 2026
