I began painting on rocks and pebbles and slowly graduated to painting on canvas board and then stretched canvas.\u00a0 I have also painted on PVC Charger plates, various shapes and sizes of MDF cut outs including the Africa Cut outs.\u00a0 I have also upcycled old Vinyl LP Records which I have made into the most beautiful and unique Clocks. My Signature Piece is a custom order that I painted on an 80 cm Diameter 6mm MDF round cut-out to which a clock mechanism was attached.<\/p>\n<p>I am totally self taught and constantly continue to learn new tricks and techniques and I thoroughly enjoy teaching others this beautiful art form. Before the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown I have had the honour of teaching many others at workshops held at A peace Of Art studio Workshop here in Walmer.\u00a0 Hopefully these workshops will be available again in the not too distant future.<\/p>\n<p>I am thrilled to report that my art has found its way to 9 countries at present and hopefully that number will continue to grow.\u00a0 In the meantime I am constantly exploring new avenues of expression and have recently embarked on a journey learning to make key-ring holders and pendants from scratch.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to the day that we can once again have our Craft Markets in the Bay and look forward to showing off all that I have produced over the last five months.<\/p>\n<p>Please feel free to take a look at my work on my Facebook and Instagram pages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Phil is also skilled in:<\/strong> Art Facilitation &amp; Workshops<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact Phil here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Phone:<\/strong> (066) 468-7397<br \/>\n<strong>WhatsApp:<\/strong> (066) 468-7397<br \/>\n<strong>Facebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/PhilsMandalas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/facebook.com\/PhilsMandalas<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Instagram:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/phils_mandalas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/instagram.com\/phils_mandalas<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter wp-image-117\" src=\"https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1912\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-765x1024.jpg 765w, https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-768x1028.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-1147x1536.jpg 1147w, https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-1530x2048.jpg 1530w, https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_8578-scaled.jpg 1912w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1912px) 100vw, 1912px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mynmb.co.za\/artists\/list\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE to list for FREE<\/strong><\/a>.
