So much texture and colour.

   When people come to the studio to do the Excavating Layers workshop they are expecting to make a 12" x24" canvas. But more often than not they walk away with 4 finished pieces. 

   The first time I taught this workshop, at the last minute I decided that I would have them do some practicing with the texture layers and colours on 3 small 5" x7" canvas boards. To my surprise and the students delight they worked out so well that they ended up with 4 finished pieces of art at the end of two days. Sometimes they do similar styles on all three boards and end up with a tryptic and sometimes they try a variety of styles and end up with 3 separate pieces. 

   This weekends I had two wonderfully creative students in the studio. They did a great job on all of their canvases.

Charlotte- 5" x 7"

Charlotte- 12" x 24"

Jane- 5" x 7"

Jane- 12" x 24"

   I hope you are finding some creative time this Victoria Day weekend.

Happy Creating!

Into the Black Dimensions...

Today was the first time teaching the Black Dimensions workshop. Teaching a class the first time can sometimes be a little tricky. I don't always know how long things will take the group and what is the best order to do things in. So in a way the students are kind of my guinea pigs for getting things figured out. Today felt like that kind of day and my students were wonderfully patient with me and did an amazing job. We did a lot of different techniques and used a lot of different mediums to make these creations. Thank you ladies for a great day.
