California Cupcake 12078  SOLD (3/18/2013)

Painted Paper Collage Painting on 12x12 gallery wrapped canvas

These cupcakes are getting bigger! The first one was 8x8 and sold, and then a 10x10 has returned from a show and now this 12x12 just finished,  I will use to demonstrate how to varnish a torn paper collage in my one day workshop at the Dutch Art Gallery June 2, 2012. The supply list is at the bottom of each artist's class description and class size is limited. If you are interested in taking any of these one day workshops, contact Pam Massar at Dutchart1@aol.com or call 214 348-7350 on Tues.  Dutch Art website is HERE.http://dutchartusa.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=459&zenid=remtfm31iqjb4vhtlls8pu3lj4

This cupcake collage has paper I've painted, glued dried color spots of palette paper, vintage stamps, recycled book pages, old recipes, and  a California map as a background. You can see the orange highlight of my trip through Vacaville and Fairfield on the way to a Sonoma workshop. This is a good size for a workshop class to work on and will be used when I have a painted paper collage class. 

The one day June 2 class will be on a recycled magazine pages, torn paper class and we will all work on a high heel.

I have a collage exhibit of both torn paper and painted paper paintings at the Fort Worth Community Arts Center until June 28 and you can get dates and times HERE  and this is where the high heel collage sold. 

In the June 2 class we will work on a high heel similar to the one below.

Ladylike Class, 12077, a torn paper collage painting ~ One Day Torn Paper Collage Workshop June 2, 2012 Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas TX by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

Ladylike Class, 12077 

a torn paper collage painting, 12x12x1 5/8"  on American Easel Wood Panel

ONE DAY COLLAGE WORKSHOP, JUNE 2

I've just finished the torn paper collage painting yesterday to display during my one day workshop at the Dutch Art Gallery. I wanted to show an alternative to a canvas support. The above painting is on an American Easel Wood Panel and the collage is made from recycled magazines and an old letter, a hidden message on the heel "stiletto", find "Santa Fe" on a map scrap, and "Readin" is near the top (a throw back to my previous life as an elementary librarian. Part of the fun of a collage is tucking hidden messages for others to find that may or may not have a meaning. 

Read about the Saturday Summer Workshops at the Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, TX HERE: 

or click on the Dutch Art Gallery, top right photo on my blog list. This online magazine lists the Saturday Summer Workshops given by a group of Texas Artists who have been organized by Laurie Pace. She is working with Pam Massar at the Dutch Art Gallery to give these instructors and students a place for a short workshop experience this summer.

The announcement magazine can be found HERE also. Registration can be done by emailing Pam at Dutchart1@aol.com or call 214 348-7350.

At the end of each of  the 12 class descriptions there is a light blue link and click to read the supply list for the one day class. Read about the  art workshops and find one that's been designed for you. 

In my class, we will all work on a high heel. I will supply the reference photo and will instruct on how to get the image transferred to your canvas. No art experience is necessary. Sign up to learn the basic collage techniques of torn paper painting.

Door Prizes:

When I give a workshop, I love to have a few door prizes to give to my students (to wake them up when they nod off or get on their cell phones). Oil painter and art teacher, Peggi Kroll Roberts, has donated some DVD's for door prizes. I have her DVD's and they are fabulous, fun instruction and I've taken two workshops with her this year. Thank you, Peggi, for helping me keep my class awake!!

The Night Is Young, 12073, Red High Heel Torn Paper Collage Painting by Contemporary Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

The Night Is Young, 12073

Red High Heel Torn Paper Collage Painting

12x12x1.5" on gallery wrapped canvas

I used this high heel for my "talk/demo" for the Lake Granbury Art Association Monday evening and finished it up yesterday in the studio. If you are interested in attending a 2 or 3 day workshop using the torn paper method please contact me by email address below this post. I will post a cupcake later in the week using the torn painted paper technique and I could combine both methods. 

Also if you want an experimental acrylic workshop, my friend, Carol Nelson will be at the LGAA at the end of May and there are a few more openings. Click on the LGAA link above and go to workshops. 

Background:

The white printed background wraps around the painting and covers the sides and the title is taken from text in the collage. Other words in the background are best, private, queen, .com, pretty things, Mad Men, love that, fabulous, of course I do, the girly show, I wake to run, chic. There are more of these heel collages in my future using different colors for the high heel and they are great decor for a vanity area. 

Painted Paper Collage Methods:
When I was speaking about the painted paper collage, I mentioned how I kept my acrylic paints moist and ready to paint foundation color on small supports using a divided plastic box for beads I found at Michaels. I attached a sticky back felt to the top of the slots and then spray with water and enclose all with a wet sponge in a plastic bag and keep in my refrigerator. These paints stay workable and ready to use for months, saving paint and the removing lids of paints.  I don't paint on the foundation for the torn paper above but I'll post one of the painted paper collages later where I use this painting method of painting a loose color foundation color before I begin the collage so I hope I don't confuse you. One of the members in the audience Monday night expressed an interest in seeing my palette. When I paint a large acrylic painting I put the paints out on a piece of heavy plastic or large palette. The above is used for small works and some people like to use the weekly plastic pill holders. I do have my whites, blacks, buffs and grays in one of those and I put the felt on the lids also and keep those in refrigerator also along with the colors.

Orchid Series, Blue Square 12069, Mixed Media Abstract Acrylic Painting by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

Orchid Series with a Blue Square, 12069

10x10 x 7/8 in. depth wood cradle

This series of paintings have been experiments with orchids, purples, blues with orange and red highlights, small paintings that used a Venetian Plaster foundation on canvas and board. I like working on the above foundation on American Easel Birchwood because you can work thick with the texture without danger of the pieces cracking or falling off. Click HERE to read a description about the wood cradles at Dick Blick. I also like the Ampersand Gessobords HERE.

Here are two other paintings in the series that are on my Daily Paintworks gallery.

Kimbell Museum reminder:

The Age of Impressionism exhibit will be up until June 17. Click HERE for more info. I went on Friday and saw paintings I've only read about in books and it was such a treat to see them up as close as I dared with the security guards making sure your nose didn't invade the painting space. 

My friend Carol Nelson, Colorado will be in Texas:

Carol Nelson will be at the LGAA the last of May for her Experimental Acrylic Class and the last I heard there was a spot open. My first workshop with Carol I flew to Denver to take a 2 day then she was in Granbury last year and now this is a 4 day and it will be filled with new and exciting acrylic techniques. She is also teaching at the Artists Showplace in Dallas in October so if you need some new touches to your paintings, join Carol. 

Program:

Rooster Torn and Hand Painted Paper Collage Painting by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee

Run to Me Little Chicks. I Will Feed You. 12065

12x12x1.5 torn paper and hand painted paper collage painting on gallery wrapped canvas

(The title came from text from a vintage children's book).

I've completed this rooster collage painting this week for the FWCAC show in Fort Worth. I've sold 4 collage paintings from the show and needed to cover a bare spot. The red area is collage from my hand painted papers and the feather area is from found papers like vintage books, music sheets, or crossword puzzles. The background is a Texas map with a few postal stamps for more design. The show will be on exhibit until June 28, 2012. 

Some have asked me about the cradled Ampersand panels that I painted the Polka Dot Roses on in the last few posts. At Jerry's Artarama you can get them in flat panels, 3/4", 1 1/5", and 2" depth. Here is what my 3 foot long one looked like below. I haven't painted the edges yet and you can see a big drip on the side. Sometimes I like to stain with a light walnut but with the background being so dark I feel like maybe it would look better to paint in a dark color also.
