48 weeks, week 6. Joint tape poppies.

Week 6 of Donna Downey's 48 weeks has us using joint tape for texture, under many layers of glazing. Then stenciling some numbers on with paint. Well, I used some Dylusion's ink spray and found out that it spreads every time it gets wet, causing somewhat of a mess, it's not the same as paint. Anyway, in the end, another fun assignment. I am continuing to learn a lot, and using many new techniques and supplies.

48 weeks week 5 fiber paste and glazing

This week in Donna Downey's class we used fiber paste and a lot of glazing. I especially liked using the glazing for shading, and the faber cast ell big markers for shading the moon. Again a bunch of new techniques and materials. The fun continues....

Graphics 45 12 days of Christmas display box

I used the Graphics 45 12 Days of Christmas paper and tags n such to make a display for each 12 days. They fit inside the 7 gypsies box and peek out the center opening. I slide the box open and move through the days to display each one.

48 weeks texture and sketching

The glazing technique is readily becoming a favorite for me, I like the ability to blend and work the color around loosely. I did think i used to know how to sketch, apparently that went the way of fingerpainting. it also looks like I'm missing something in the composition, but I can't figure out what....

48 weeks week 3 mesh and glazing

I enjoyed the glazing techniques, but have a heavy hand with the color. I really enjoyed the mixture of media on this challenge.

48 weeks week 2 fingerpainting

I don't remember fingerpainting to be so challenging. I was just probably less discriminating! again all new materials to me... I did really like the Golden Fluorescent paints.

48 weeks week 1

First week of Donna Downey's art class, challenging and enjoyable. Many new materials and methods for me. I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.
