Learning Art of Nigeria
There is no limit to the art world. Every country has its own signature into the art world. I was fascinated with the art world on this side of the globe. In Africa, there is art in the motifs and bright color pictures. I went to the local market and there was a display of African art in most of the stores.
My cousin, who is also interested in art, wanted to learn this art from a local native and I decided to accompany here and be a silent learner.
Moses, the local painter and artist, agreed to share his talent with us. We drove to his studio to learn his art.
While my cousin sat on the hot seat, painting, I learnt it from a distance. We went for two days.
On day one, they drew lines with glue cone to create embossed effect and coated with the primer of glue and distemper. They worked on three canvases, Two canvases were on motifs, the third one was on knife paintings.
At the end of two days, my cousin had created three beautiful painting.
While my cousin was busy painting he was creating more designs
He was quick, within one hour he created three more paintings..
We learnt the different motifs, his style of painting and blending of colors.
He worked with much ease and style, with no drawing or planning, letting the brushes move freely on the canvas, each stroke plucked from his memory, just creating whatever came to his mind and all were amazing…….
