Abstract Brush with Rachel Yallop

Dressed in her trademark colours of red, white and black, Rachel gave SLLA members a one day workshop on abstract designs and large letters using a flat brush. Starting with examples of her wonderful abstract designs, Rachel explained to participants how they would be using a minimal palette to create maximum effect in a piece of work.

Demonstrations were followed by hands on practice exploring lines, textures and overlapping forms and everyone was fascinated to see what a difference a tiny application of red could make to a piece of work. Lots of interesting pieces for the show and tell at the end of the day and what had been a fascinating workshop.

A full account of this workshop by Lindsay Munro will appear in the next edition of The Inc.
