Barbara Whitbourn
Barbara is a professional artist based in Hampshire. Barbara is mainly selftaught but has also studied at Newlyns Art School in Cornwall. Barbara is an enthusiastic tutor and passionate about abstraction, the space for the viewer to connect with a painting and to interpret it from their own perspective. Working in lots of transparent layers in mixed media, Barbara builds depth and interest into her abstracted landscapes. Initially sketching en plein air, she then takes her work back to her studio to develop her ideas, at each stage abstracting the subject further. Barbara’s demonstrations and workshops show her techniques and develop her attendees ability to abstract the subject through teaching different approaches to abstraction, assisting them to understand where they sit in the reality to abstract spectrum.
