Imagine Play

Created for the 5"x7" Art Prize with the theme "Imagine". I couldn't help thinking how imaginative kids are and wanted to replicate what a child might be imagining they were doing while playing. So a child is riding a big T-Rex dinosaur, wearing a paper hat and eye patch while brandishing a lightsaber - because why not?! Watercolour and coloured pencils were used to create this work on 300gsm 100% Cotton paper. It was then cut to size and mounted on a 5"x7" canvas panel. The whole work was then sprayed with a protective mat spray. Work is unframed but due to its' standard size it could easily be inserted in a 5x7 frame with the glass removed.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I have always loved drawing and art. Art has always been something I have loved and come back to as a hobby as time and inspiration arose. I am mostly a self-taught artist and only started using the watercolour medium late 2016. Before this I mainly used graphite and coloured pencils for basic drawings. Mid 2017 I completed a short watercolour botanical art course that improved my ability and understanding of the medium and has been the stepping stone to my growth as an artist. I joined the Hobsons Bay Arts Society mid 2018 after participating in the 5 x 7 art prize and have really enjoyed and learnt a lot through workshops and demonstrations held by the society. Being a member of the society has also opened up new mediums to me, after doing a portrait course I now love using pastels and charcoal too. My subject matter is usually nature based as I am constantly inspired by the world around me.
