One class finished

One class finished and another will start on Oct 28th and go until Nov 18th.

The photos below are student Janet Castro's work

 Each of these samples taught a different painting technique.  Janet's samples are better than mine by a long shot.  Each of her samples are a small masterpiece.  What fun!  These Leaves were the way to paint without showing gutta lines around the outside of the forms (leaves).

 Take a look at the leaves.  They have vines without putting in gutta lines.  A little trick I discovered while trying to achieve something else.  Love this flower.

 These pears were a study in shading with the water and the paints.  Plus we used salt for texture ,

 The water and the spotty texture of the fish was our lesson on this sample.

Everything was on a 22" square of silk

Next session, which starts on Oct 28th we will be learning some techniques which combine the use of liquid and thickened dye, also some stamps and screen printing.  If you haven't had a chance to try your hand at silk painting with the "silk PAINTS" come and share the fun.  We do not have a class this Wednesday Oct 21st.
