Accordion Style Sketchbook



These were dramatic sky paintings done both during and after taking Cynthia Armstrong's Experimental Landscape class.  I created an accordion style book using the painted watercolors as interior pages and made a hard cover using museum mat board with an abstract painting as cover art.  I used the palette colors that were left on my palette to create the cover art.  I will work up a blog post about how to do this, soon I promise.

Experimental Landscape Class: Snow Scenes

 





For the last two weeks I have been taking a painting class from Winslow Art Center.  It is an online class given by Cynthia Armstrong.  We are using a wet into wet technique and using cut credit cards as well as brushes to make marks.  Here are two homework assignments done on that first week.

The second week we were to learn how to populate the foreground elements.  So here I show before and after images of two that I have done.

This first image was done the first week of class in class.  The trees added were done in a second pass.  I use the credit card, brush and tooth brush as tools.  




The second set added foreground using a credit card, spray bottle and small brush:
