Artist Note
Another creative day.
I had a blast.
So many amazing artists are in the group
I can't help but be inspired
by what they do, but the ooh and ahh moments
happened when
Nancy Frost Begin
worked on a painting to demo the
way we would be working.
I could have sat and watched her paint
all day long.
No such luck...She was very aware of
wanting her students to have time to paint.

This was another method where we painted
on top of an old painting. No coating of acrylic
matt medium this time.
(I goofed and called it varnish yesterday.)
With this one
matt medium this time.
(I goofed and called it varnish yesterday.)
With this one
white tempera paint was applied
over the painting in different ways
and left to dry. Next, black (permanent) ink
was put on rather intuitively.
Special instructions were given
on the next step
of hosing the tempera off.
We did that yesterday.

The resulting imagery
"spoke to me" and I saw
the direction I wanted to go.
The underlying marks
provide some wonderful natural effects
one cannot create any other way.
I really like this painting.

ReplyDeleteDear Julie - this feather is beautiful. No matter what technique or medium you use your style is always there - lovely in every way. Of course I always love your feathers and your nests. Your wonder for these fine subjects comes through in each work. Hope you have a wonderful day.
