I've posted a few times about
Big Fat Art, and thought it's time I offered a
Big Fat Art workshop. First, here are a few pix of my latest Big Fat Art pieces, some in process, some finished.

What IS Big Fat Art anyway? Here is a description:
Big Fat Art is a state of mind rather than a
specific kind of art. It is all
about loosening up and getting past the thinking/evaluating zone and into the
creative spontaneous one, where you can be freely expressive. Ditch the inhibitions, relax, and have
fun playing with paint!

Interested in a shorter Big Fat Art workshop? I'm teaching a one-day version at AVA Gallery in Lebanon, NH on March 7. A longer one? Come for a four-day Big Fat Art workshop at Pacific Northwest Art School in Coupeville, Washington on beautiful Whidbey Island, September 8 - 11, 2014.
Come on over to The Sketchbook Challenge blog to see a video of me working on the above Big Fat Art, with a little explanation of how it fits into this month's theme, Houses and Hideaways. This is part of a Sketchbook Challenge blog hop, so be sure to check out the other posts!
A very NICE POST and inspiring works, Jane!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour pieces are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love the term: Big Fat Art!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your video & post.
ReplyDeleteit looks like you had a lot of fun. These are beautiful pieces!
ReplyDeleteOooh, ooh, ooh. Your work is getting so much more involved. More layers, more intuitive mark-making, and a subtle palette all make for a fully satisfying result.
ReplyDeleteJane - you are right about the loosening up and the intuitive - your work is marvellous, one can feel the energy that you release! Wow!!
ReplyDeleteit looks like you had a lot of fun.

Fantastic video.. and BFA.. Inspiring as usual. Thanks.........
ReplyDeleteBIG FAT ART inspires me to think big in my own work. Love your sense of composition.
ReplyDeleteJane,how do you frame these for exhibit? I just did some pieces on 18x24 acrylic paper and now don't know what to do to get them ready to display. They seem rather large for putting behind a mat and plexiglass like a watercolor. But I also don't know if I could get them adhered to a wood panel as you showed how to do, and I did with some small pieces. As always, I really appreciate your sharing your techniques so freely,.
