Goofy Bird 2 ~ Robert Burridge Workshop ~ Dallas ~ Nancy Standlee Texas Daily Painter

"Goofy Bird 2"
7 1/2 x 11 in acrylic skins collage on watercolor paper

Check out my previous post HERE where I discussed the process for using these skins from your painting palette in the Robert Burridge Workshop in Dallas. This piece is highly textured and it just makes you want to have a messy palette to have more dried "skins". Bob is in Pensacola this morning for another 5 day workshop and I'm having my coffee and thinking about what a great painting experience those students are going to have. Bob is in Texas several times this year and his next Texas workshop will be in Granbury, Texas, April 11-15, 2011 and you know what? My friends will not be surprised but I'm already packed since I use big plastic tubs to haul my workshop "stuff" in and it's still on the couch ready to go from the Dallas trip. (Sometimes I won't let them come in just meet me in the front yard!) I use the back of my Rav 4 as a big art supply store with extra canvases and paper and maybe a Christmas fruitcake or two close by. I was telling some of the group in Dallas that we had some pretty bad weather in January and February and if and when I was ever stranded in an ice flow or snowdrift, I would be the most popular girl passing our fruitcake "food" to starving and cold fellow travelers (since my Christmas fruitcake is still in the passenger side floorboard.) In August, when Bob gets to Dena's Ranch, we may have to put this cake under refrigeration or soak it in a tasty beverage.

Citra Solv Collage Pear ~ Robert Burridge Workshop ~ Dallas ~ Nancy Standlee Texas Daily Painter

"Dallas Collage Pear"
9 x 12 Citra Solv collage pear on canvas

I posted yesterday about the Robert Burridge workshop in Dallas where Bob demonstrated making collage papers using Citra Solv and he did a collage demo of a pear using the papers made from a National Geographic magazine. I guess this pear should be named the "Burridge Collage Pear" because I was looking at his piece on the wall while working on this one. Torn pieces of the papers were adhered with liquid or gel medium, and the background was painted with acrylic and the collage was glazed with acrylic paint. There are other examples of Citra Art on the website at www.citrasolv.com. Be sure you use the concentrated version which does not have a sprayer and have fun. Click HERE for Bob's page on their site.


One of Bob's demos today of an abstract work and he does make it look super easy. If you'd like to take a Burridge workshop I hear there are openings at the Dena Wenmohs Ranch in August so contact Dena if you are interested.

After hours magic tricks by Bob and a student, Judith, who were our after dinner entertainment at Joe's Italian Villa. More information about this great 5 day workshop later.
