the crow

Title: THE CROW
Size: 11x15
Mixed Media
Those of you who attended the first session of Exploration Mixed Media at The Artist's Nook might recognize the background to this painting. I demonstrated my method of Free Play using watercolor, an art stamp, colored pencils, tinted text papers, and an incising tool on watercolor paper. Upon my return to Arizona, I drew a crow on a branch, using the line meet line method of drawing, to unify the shapes. The second session of Exploration Mixed Media will be held in July 2008. New sample photos and workshop information can be found here. Please join us for three days of play.
