This is the painting that I started on illustration board. After applying all sorts of mediums and grounds, letting it dry, I added color. Photographing the painting in full sun was a mistake. I cannot color correct the photograph to come very close to what it actually looks like. I added collage elements after this step and photographed it but I will show that tomorrow after I retake the photograph in better lighting conditions.
Tonight there were 5 demonstrations going at the same time! I was able to see how Sue Tregay puts together her fabulous new series of "free range children". She has a layered process using exciting color and engaging drawing for a very entertaining result. You can find a link to her blog on the side of mine. Check it out!
Mike Bailey also did a very engaging demo. Besides being a consumate painter and educator, he is very entertaining! Mike is giving a workshop here this week at Kanuga.
I was also able to watch Carrie Burns Brown share some collage ideas. I love her video and it was wonderful to get to meet her in person.
Tomorrow I am going to learn how to make an insert into a stretched gallery canvas !!! Exciting times.
