Hi, TACers!
There were ten of us this morning with cups of warm things and yummy bits to eat. Everyone brought work!
13 - Reveal White Paper
- Mary started us off with bright and delightful fingerpainting, a project which she shared with her 3 year old granddaughter. They were bright, swirly, beastie and fun!
- Shirley is translating Japanese kimono fabrics into watercolors for her watercolor class and she shared one with kite-like figures of butterflies, koi and other fantastical creatures. She is using Holbein Iridori colors and a color palette that is different for her.
- Sue used grass paper glued onto a backing for an earthy toned abstract with a Wide flat brush. There were large swipes of color and lots of texture. It was very energetic and had an aboriginal feel and it worked in any direction. She also shared two more boat paintings.
- Heather painted her pain after a fall into a lovely soft floral form with blues, lavenders and pinks. Soft and watery.
- Pam brought four pieces. A scene with a building and trees with a bright highlight on the roof, a two part water study using just one color and the white of the paper that looked cold, a diptych of Denali Mountain that had a woodblock-ish look and a seascape with rain just coming in over the ocean and ready to drench us any minute!
- Marjorie added to her “fortune cookie” series by painting tree leaves with her fingers over a background of india ink trees. There was a black crow hiding in the leaves.
- Janie had a pale and delicate rose-like flower in pinks with a soft green background. She also put a color guide on the edge of her paper. It was an intimate piece that was more interesting up close.
- Carole did a calla lily in blues, greens and greys on a narrow piece of paper. It was fresh and fast and had good value range.
- Joanie did oak trees with one brush and made the trunks with the handle end of the brush and used Sennelier ink to simulate spring mustard fields.
- Peg is back and she shared two paintings from her life class that were influenced by previous experiments. Both were figures with lush color, great skin tones and cool hair!
Next week - 51 - Introduce Scraping and Scratching
Hope to see you Tuesday
Joanie and Shirley
