Hi everyone! It has been several days since I've posted. As I mentioned in the last post I was leaving to take a class with a very talented and inspirational women, Deb Drager http://www.ddrager.com/
She inspires me and many other students to realize what is inside, how to translate on canvas the beauty of art and the beauty inside each individual. Here is photos of what i did in her two day canvas class.
The first canvas is 12" x 24", with several different types of textures applied, along with stenciling, patinas, glazes and 3D pieces added.
The second canvas is a diptych (meaning "two" "fold", any object with two flat plates attached at a hinge.)
Two 6" x 12" canvases attached in the center to hold them together so that they become one piece of hanging art. On this canvas I used many of the same ways to apply textures as the first, with the addition of using actual metal grids as part of the artwork.
Both art pieces can be hung in any direction, depending how you like them.
My intent for this blog is to share knowledge and ideas in painting, decorating, furniture updates, crafts and much more as well as promote my business

ReplyDeleteWow. Thats some hip work. Pretty intricate! How long did the one of the left take?
ReplyDeleteNate, Thanks. 2 different days to allow for dry time for the different textures, glazes and 3D elements
