Just Dali

Watercolour painting. An orange band disects the background which is a blue wash.

Just Dali is a visual arts project where disabled people can explore the techniques and art processes adopted by artists of the 20th - 21st century in their own arts practice.

A group of older people based at Helena Lane Community centre, Ludlow explored the colours, atmosphere and paint techniques of  Monet and Turner and adapted these processes to create a six panel painting of the view from outside the centre.

The images below are a selection of their visual art work.
