Details
In terms of my abstract art, I love the use of bright colours and allowing my imagination to take control. Its very relaxing, and an interesting subject. There are so many forms of art and nothing prescriptive; opening the imagination to explore textures, movement colour and the interaction of different mediums.
I find inspiration from my love of nature and the great outdoors being an avid gardener, Nordic walker, lover of animals and birds, local landscapes and historic buildings .
I am inspired by Wassily Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, Steven Brown, Gerhard Richter and more recently international artists Joan Blond and Rinke Douna. As part of my art journey I have already attended various workshops on various forms of art and I'm now keen to learn about alcohol inks and calligraphy.
I love being creative. Following attendance at the 14-week workshop, I realised I had an ability and talent that has unleashed a passion that has consumed me ever since. It gives me the freedom to explore other forms of art. It provides nourishment to my sole as a form of wellbeing. It's relaxing. No two days are the same. People put you on a pedestal - like a kind of celebrity. It's lovely seeing the appreciation of others to what you’ve produced.
My business is Allison Dumbrell Art. I describe myself as an Artist. My main interest is in abstract art, including Dutch pouring techniques though I have also undertaken portrait commissions, drawings, paintings and etchings of historic buildings, wildlife, seascapes and landscapes.
I undertook several tutorial courses online as well as embarking on a 14-week art course in 2021. The course covered: An introduction to drawing, drawing perspective and enlarging, pastels – still life and pet/favourite animal portrait, watercolours – misty mountains, colourful flowers, feathered friends, acrylics – seaside vistas, impressionistic impasto, country landscapes, followed by mounting your work: enhancing your masterpieces and finally an exhibition of my work. I have also attended workshops on life drawing, glass fusion, printmaking, felt making and ceramics to expand my knowledge and learn new skills and techniques. Something I intend to continue.
