Just a bit of grit

My next workshop draw on grounds will be on 21st July after the Dwellingup Art Retreat with Nina Bagley.
 In this workshop you will create a gritty surface suitable for traditional drawing mediums such as charcoal, graphite, coloured pencils and pastels.  Acrylic grounds allow you to get around limitations of paper.           The following images are samples of one of my students Janine Rea who has done all of my workshops, Janine has taken the techniques and made them her own.  Well done Janine.
       sample of Pours where Janine has drawn into the tar gel while it is wet creating magical layers.
      Poured lines looks like some prehistoric being, can you see the marble effect inside the poured lines.

                                     another poured lines on glass bead gel, thank you Janine for sharing
