Different Ways of Seeing

By angela brittain

I often wonder what we all see when we look at the same scene?

Do we see different colours? What is the first thing that catches our attention? The assumption that we all of us see the same is unlikely. I find as my lifestyle and age changes, I tend to focus on people and things that are similar or familiar.

I also try to remember to look up – above eye level, where some lovely decorations are on buildings and birds are sitting in trees.

About angela brittain

Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface. I work mainly in oil or acrylics on board. People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me. I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008. I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex. I am a Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
