Book Used: Women's Health approx 8 x 11 altered page with gesso, acrylic fluid and tube paints, scraffito, graphite, china marker, permanent marker, collage with a stamp I made and stamped on newspaper.
I was supposed to be doing anything but this today but I've become so excited about the workshop at Dena's Ranch in July I could not stay away from this altered book today. You are invited to join us at workshop at Dena's near Marble Falls and there will be two three day sessions, first one July 19, 20, 21 and the second will be 23, 24, and 25. Beginners welcome. We will discuss altered books one day and we will work in an inexpensive used book, tear out pages, gesso pages, paint in it and experiment in it similar to working in a new blank journal. It's just another way to journal. The first two days we will use traditional watercolor techniques.

Dena has just recently added the 2nd session which will come first and if it doesn't fill I thought that we could go into Marble Falls and eat pie at the Blue Bonnet Cafe. Carol Nelson mentioned on Facebook "It's always nice to have a backup plan involving pie."

We will discuss and experiment with making some of our own stamps quickly and working small. I made this one this morning and stamped it on newsprint. I have always like the addition of newsprint in a collage. Nothing involved or fancy. I have those stamp making supplies with Master Carve but it would take too long and we need to experiment with several techniques that doesn't involve cutting with Exacto knives. If you would like more information, contact Dena at dena@wenmohsranch.com call 830 825-3465.

What a fabulous piece. I love the feel of spontaneity it has.
ReplyDeleteWow.. that was fast I've just got it published after about 3 tries with corrections. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteI was just online. To answer your question about Oil. I just started working with oil (I am an Acrylic, Pastel or whatever ) kind of gal.
ReplyDeleteI was told just go for regular Oil I use Winton and use odorless turpentine. It feels like you can blend easier than acrylic. But with Acrylic the instant dry is what I like.
I really like your work. Maybe someday I will try oils.
ReplyDeleteNancy, I really like your blog a lot and your continuous discover of new things, your subject matter and use of color. The lady in this journal painting is breathtaking.
