This involved a large sheet of paper (about A1 or A 2) placed on the floor, a 3 inch decorator's brush taped to a long stick, lots of cheap black paint and some crayons or oil pastels.
The results were very abstract and great fun though I will admit to having enhanced the graphic qualities a little in Photoshop.
Gosh where is all this leading? I wish I knew.....
* As an aside, courses like this are sadly no longer available at this lovely UK venue.
Some very interesting marks there. I can see how they might develop into stitching.
ReplyDeleteIndeed they might ... I now need to look at all the work I've done in the last three weeks and see where it leads me. Lots to think about - but then that's why I do these courses. They stimulate and focus the mind!
ReplyDeleteCourses are sadly missing in my life right now, but they have such great value ... especially in a group with other artists ... the energy is amazing !!
ReplyDeleteThe course itself may be just a jumping off point ... the ideas from other artists is what is great.
This black & white would look fantastic stitched ! Go for it !
Thanks for your comments - lovely to hear from you again. I will indeed go for it! I just have to play a little more to work out how. There are so many options ....
