Painting and Collage Making
How and why I paint
March 2024
Richard Dobson shared his painting process, where sometimes applying paint leads to what the image becomes, rather than the initial conception. He talked about communicating mood and emotions and the value of image-making. Influences include Hockney, Rothko, Philip Guston, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt.

Morris Gallagher shared a series of collages about health and social care (see left). Together we produced a collage, in 30 minutes around the theme of ‘Anger.’ This was a powerful exercise where we explored our feelings about unexpressed anger. The finished collage is shown below.
