Adding new texture

Learning new techniques from Jacqueline Sullivan. Her DVD ACRYLICS: Textures, Layers and Metallics is full of easy to follow instructions. Although I intended to make this painting a bit brighter I ended up with the same colours and shades that are typical for me. The next attempt is definitively going to be mixed with lighter and summery colours.

Painting

I have been painting a lot since my last post. The texture is what fascinates me at the moment. I have been exploring Golden mediums and pastes on different surfaces (ordering big quantities since Aussie $$$ is so good).
I'm conscious that all of my work so far are simple techniques but I'm learning more and more from Julie and Chris over at the Texture Town Would you like to join me on the journey just click at the badge here on my blog and you will be taken to the "Land of Lost Luggage".

There are still many canvases either drying or waiting for the final-touch-idea to arise.

Online classes

It has been a while since my last post but the thing is that beside hectic at work I have been creating. I have completed another altered book, started altering few thins, made some book covers which are awaiting to be bound, have enrolled into jewelery class...

Well I decided not to post it in chronological order. I will start with my latest project.

Last week I got an e-mail from a friend of mine, Martina Hart to join her on the journey through "Texture Town" by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen . The class started 2 weeks ago and some catching up was required. Lucky I already had mediums and paints required for the class but this didn't stop me ordering more.

The first lesson was Implied texture and I made Journal covers:



The second lesson was Choose your colour (you may have only one guess about my first choice):



The second and third colour choice are waiting for canvases to dry...
