I find it really hard to remember to take photos during workshops. I'm too distracted...teaching!!! :) It wasn't until I moved to sit opposite Paddy at the end of the day and spotted a photo opportunity that I remembered! We were a small group as we'd had a couple of cancellations, and Helen had had to leave to collect her children, but here are a few pictures of the day.
Sylvia's done this workshop before but used a tiny weeny book to work in. She's filled a couple of them so Paddy challenged her to work on a larger size (8x8). What a difference in confidence since the first class she did. And her backgrounds are amazing (check out the piece of card next to the pink heat gun; I encourage everyone to wipe off their brush, stencil, sponge.. on it, and stamp off any remaining ink from their stamps. It produces a wonderful collaged piece which can be cut up and used in your journal)...
I love the peach tones with the teal here, colours I wouldn't normally choose but LOVE so will be choosing them for a journal page soon!
Sylvia has a corner shop so had to nip out at lunchtime and 'hometime' (school) to tend to it.
Sue thoroughly enjoyed her day with us. She wanted to be free-er in her artwork (something I aim for too!) and had a great time laying down colours for her backgrounds before working on a few pages with images. Sorry, I forgot to take those pics!!
I made a few pages up whilst demoing various painting techniques. Non finished yet; some I have plans for, others will be there when I need them!
[note to self, colour seeps through cartridge paper when you make it very wet!]
Sue shared a rhyme with us when we were discussing colour so I decided to start some journal pages around that theme...
blue and green
should never be seen
except with something in between
red and green
should never be seen
except upon a donkey!!! :)
