Found a new home in Landenberg, PA
(USA)
I'm starting my next segment of
six weeks of ART LESSONS:
"A Little Texture
Please!" @OLGarts
Studio!
Understand "Fossil Art" from the first layer to the final glaze.
In a stepwise process I will teach you how to make your canvases pop.
You'll get demo's (power point presentations/ Keynote) and notes to take home of each step of this fascinating process as you layer your canvas with rich colors and intriguing textures.
You will learn how to bring
sculptural
ideas and effects into painting, how
to incorporate this technique in collages
to achieve richly worked paintings.
How to work in depth and light
absorption in a piece of art to give
it the waxiness desired.
I will give you tips how to make your
precious
artwork last for hundreds of years,
without being effected by its
environment
What did I use for this
small mixed media painting?
POLY VINYL ACETATE (PVA)
to seal
the canvas.
(Either Caparol binder, Mowilith or
Gamblin's PVA SIZE)
Advantage: it
does
not re-absorb atmospheric moisture,
swell and shrink like rabbit skin glue
does.
Modeling paste of any brand,
Acrylics: several different
colors of green, copper, burnt
umber, black, acra gold and
acra burnt orange, iridescent gold.
All the leaves are from my grape vine.

This painting will go as a present for the hostess of a 4th of July Party we're attending!
