This week has definitely started on a bright note! Gerald Brommer, the Juror for the 31st Annual VWS Exhibition at the Glen Allen Cultural Arts Center is giving a fabulous workshop on line, shape, and collage. We are learning so many fascinating techniques to create interest in our paintings.
Today we experimented with Washi. There are so many kinds with all different colors and textures to choose from. First we tore the washi into several pieces, and then stained the pieces with watercolor. After they dried, we brushed the pieces on our watercolor paper with matte medium. The washi pieces create a lovely dimension to your painting. Here is a sneak peek... finished paintings to follow, so stay tuned.
