Hello,
I was back at the Craft Barn today holding a mixed media canvas workshop using Decoart acrylic paint, Derwent Inktense pencils, Marker pens, Archival Ink and a few other mediums.
This workshop has techniques very similar to art journaling but instead using a 12" x 12" canvas and predominantly acrylic paint.
Here are some pictures of todays awesome…(did I just say awesome??..:) canvases.
I am hoping everyone on the workshop would have learned a few techniques which they can build upon with lots of practice, we had only four and a half hours to produce these canvases, I often need to step away from the canvas for a few hours or even sometimes days!! I honestly think you all did an amazing job!
Lindsay Masons new Stamps work so well with this, I would absolutely love to be able to write freehand on this type of artwork but my handwriting really is atrocious, a bit like a doctors so thank goodness for these stamps!
I have now nearly moved in to the new home, one more trip tomorrow to finish it all off.
As for unpacking!?!……well unfortunately, that has not happened yet although I am hoping to get a few days free next week!
Kathy, thank you so much for the kind gift of the Duck eggs today, I really can't wait to try them :)
Take care
Andy

Love the mixed media canvas! Hard to believe it came together in only four hours. Somebody was inspired! Glad you are on the tail end of your move. Hope you will soon be unpacked and settled into your new home. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was a great class Andy, I learnt a lot, one of the things was to stop beating myself up! Hope you enjoy the eggs and find your way to the cooker to use them!
