Sewing Patterns In My Art

I had a great time at Neil Elliott's Mixed Media/Abstract Painting Workshop gluing sewing patterns onto three canvases and then painting a wash over them.

All 3 paintings - works in progress....


African Princess

Nice Girl

Mean Girl - I think I'll add more paper to her....

And here are some from 2010...


Here's what some other class members were doing - burning holes in a canvas!!!!



What fun arty things have you been up to?

    I like the effect of the paper on the canvas Michelle. They are quite big, aren't they? Looking forward to seeing what you do.
