Initials!

Posted in Art Class, Collage, tagged collage, The Studio-A Place for Learning on November 19, 2014| Leave a Comment »

Initials are very popular now. So the last two days I worked up these canvas with initials. The K has torn paper over a 12×12 canvas. The N has a sheet of paper untorn over a 6×6 canvas. They are both fun to do. We will be having a class soon at The Studio for anyone who wants to give it a try. (Watch for the date coming soon.) These would make really nice Christmas gifts! UPDATE: We now have dates for the class to make these. Join us on Friday, Dec 5th at 11 am or Tuesday Dec 9th at 6:30 pm. Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register.

Paper Painting – Walking the Dog

I experimented more with painting with paper this week. It’s relaxing to rip paper and fit it onto the form that I have pre-painted. I like searching through the paper to find the ones that have the colors that I think will work for the shades of color I need.

It’s an interesting departure from painting.

“Walking the Dog”, 9″x12″, paper over acrylic paint on canvas board.

A Last Minute Collage Class

I mentioned yesterday that I had a few ladies come into The Studio for a collage class. It was spur of the moment but we had a great time working together and these are the unique pieces that they created. I think they were very pleased with them.

Collage is such a personal medium…especially when collecting the pieces to include. It can be very meaningful to the creator. I am hoping to do more with collage and paper painting in the very near future.

Paper Flamingo

I love trying new forms of painting. That is why I went to the workshop this summer at Nimrod Hall to discover more about painting with paper. (Check it out here.)

This past week I had the opportunity to put that new knowledge to work when I had a few ladies come into The Studio who wanted to make paper collages. While they worked on their pieces I used an unfinished painting that I had used as demonstration piece for a kids class to show them what to do. I really like how the flamingo turned out.

And now I have dug out at least 3 dozen old demonstration paintings that were just lying around that I think I will rework using paper. It’s relaxing and fun! So why not???!!!!
