I’ve just had the great pleasure of taking a 4-day f2f class with English artist Paula Dunn at the Gibsons School for the Arts. It was such fun: innovative, experimental, and productive. Paula taught the group a whole host of techniques, but let us determine how we wanted to apply these to our own work—the best of both worlds!
Here are a couple of my final products. These pieces are a combination of pigment sticks, oil and cold wax mixtures, mark-making with a bunch of tools, newsprint masking, plus a bit of collage and applied pigment powders on Arches huile paper. I’m sure I’ll be exploring these techniques more in the coming months!
A small practice piece.
A bigger piece (full sheet of paper) divided into sixteen and developed into four ‘quadriptychs’ (one image across four sections).
