SANDY WATERCOLOR CLUB
January 2007 Volume 6, Issue 1. https://www.watercolor.sandyseniorcenter.org
Our November Guest/Demonstrator: Marian Dunn
NOVEMBER 2007 GUEST ARTIST, MARIAN DUNN, presented to the group new ways to approach our artwork and urged us to not be afraid to try something different. After we received a lesson on the many types of painting surfaces, brushes, and paints, Marian began her demonstration by brushing a coat of acrylic matte gel medium onto her paper. She said it is ok to use more than one coat but to let it dry in between. She then chose two non-staining colors, one warm and one cool. Then the paint was dropped from her brush onto her paper and the colors ran and mingled beautifully. When dry she then sketched her drawing using chalk or pencil. With this method Marian showed us how to lift out to white and add more colors. What you end up with is an underpainting that comes through. The demonstration was quite informative and fun.
