challenge

36 x 24 inch canvas that was a 30 day challenge where you had to add or change something each day for 30 days.  It was very interesting and a great lesson in letting things go. I enjoyed the process.
Off to Fort Lauderdale, Miami with 3 night stopover in New York, Golden GAEP Conference.  Will be coming back with lots of inspiration for new workshops in 2016.

Class in Donnybrook

Moving down to the South West town of Donnybrook late 2013 and a year of building a new home, medical issues etc, I am now getting back into teaching.

Monday 4th April 9 am to 1 pm is the second class creating journal covers using Golden Fluid acrylics and Gesso.

Students experienced dropping fluid acrylics into a wet gesso base, scraping to blend into a painterly background.  Several layers added depth and interest, adding strength to the substrate.

Mark making was applied using marker pens and daubers filled with Golden free flow acrylics. 

 Final class collage and more paint blending to create attractive Journal covers which where then bound into journals

Venue: Donnybrook Arts and Craft Hall
