This piece “Will” was a collaborative work done by my 12 year old grandson Will and I in my studio. We had conversations about expressionist art and how it can be interesting to make art in that way rather than going towards total realism. We used a variety of media including acrylic paint granite oil crayon and washes. At times mark making simultaneously alternating with both of us stepping back and then intuitively adding marks we felt added to the piece. A portrait of Will for me and a self portrait for him. An engaging way for us to make art together.
