Hi to all of you I just met. I have participated in a great workshop here in Richmond Virginia. We took a surface design workshop with Diego Sanchez this weekend. Tons of exciting new ideas. It is amazing that one person can be such a fountain of information and creativity! Just so some of the people that were at the workshop with me can see some more of my work I have added some new detail (upclose) shots of some of process.
I have also included some of the fun work I did at the workshop. Thanks Diego!
Unfortuntely, these do not capture all the textures and detail that are so wonderful. The surface textures are amazing.
The top one here has a beeswax finish that is so etheral.
Many different techniques are used in the painting on the top. A detail is shown on bottom. It is done in oil paint that is scratched and scumbled. Also used is ink and a liquid used in asphalt repair! I wish I could remember the name of the artist we used to imitate. Does any one from class remember?
The piece above is not yet finished and I am looking forward to adding many more layers and depth to this piece.
Thanks for posting the detail shots. I love the beading and ribbon accents you've used.
ReplyDeleteThe workshop was great, wasn't it. Two days of total immersion in paint, plaster and wood putty. I can't remember the name of the artist we worked from, either. He's German...
Thanks Elizabeth. I loved the workshop! I am jealous you will still be taking classes. I hope to maybe in the fall. I am having fun with this work and trying to remember to experiment!
