Fractured Angelic painting
The first two days of this retreat is all about painting angels.
We will be demonstrating at least 3 different paintings using plaster layered
wood panels as the substrate. We will be showing students how to layer
plaster, sand, layer more plaster with stencils then painted to create rich and
mysterious backgrounds. The different paintings will be collage and painting an
angel, creating a more abstract and expressive angel as well as creating a
piece with my angel stencils to create a more primitive angel.
We will have a variety of angel images to share with the students
that they can use for inspiration ranging from the religious/spiritual down to
the angel that has been a bit fractured (which are our favorite). We will have
a pinterest board available for students to look at for inspiration as well as
they are collecting their images.

Lily’s Book charming canvas book with pockets
Using some of the skills that we learned earlier in the week, we
will create this sweet sturdy book that is made entirely out of canvas &
embellishments. You will learn basic bookbinding skills, and we will experiment
with texture gels, gesso, plaster, molding paste & ink to create fabulous
backgrounds & pages. I first created this book 5 years ago to take with me
on a special trip to Paris and it quickly became my favorite travel journal.
The book starts out at approximately 5 x 7 inches, but can be much larger after
we add embellishments. The canvas pages make it a hardy, durable book that can
travel far & survive your most adventurous trips. We will fill it with
secret compartments & pockets, perfect for your souvenirs & writing,
providing a safe place to keep your writing that you may not want to share with
the world. We love to show off our art journals, but this sometimes prevents me
from writing all that I want to say. Now you can write your heart out
& still have a gorgeous art book to show to your friends!This is an intense
class with multiple steps, techniques & supplies, a lot of love & work
goes into this book, but you will leave with gorgeous art book that will be
treasured for years to come.
