Pictures from Pacific Northwest Art School, Whidbey Island, WA

Here are some pix of student work done in my Gelatin Print Collage workshop at PNWAS over the weekend.

The paper used for off-loading paint from the brayer turned into a gorgeous image.

Except for the picture of me on Eby's Bluff, I ask that you not re-post the images above, as they are student work, shown anonymously.  If you re-post, they will appear as if they are my work, and the credit is not mine. Enjoy!

A Few More Grids

Here are some of the grid pieces I did while at Pacific Northwest Art School a couple of weeks ago:

I was having fun playing with contrasting scales of pattern, as well as varying the colors, and the shapes and sizes of elements.  I did a few more on Friday:

Love this lipstick bright pink/red

I'm enjoying getting a bit more minimal.

These are small - all 8"x8" and will be mounted on wood panel.  Fun!

More Eye Candy from the Pacific Northwest

More student work, this time from the Monoprint Collage class at Pacific Northwest Art School:

I took a little different approach to this class than previously - focusing more on collage - and the student work blew me away!  Please don't re-post these images, as they are student work.

I will be offering Gelatin Print Collage at Pacific Northwest Art School next year, May 21 and 22.  We will be making our own gelatin plates as well as using the gelliarts plate.  Just prior to that I'm offering "100 Drawings, Paintings, and Explorations", May 16 - 20.

Student Work from Pacific Northwest Art School

Just checking in from Whidbey Island, where I've been teaching "Abstract Painting: Series as Process" at Pacific Northwest Art School.  This is just a little eye candy:

Next year at Pacific Northwest Art School on Whidbey, I am teaching "100 Drawings(/Paintings) LIVE", May 16 - 20.  An intensive five day workshop!

Please do no re-post these images anywhere. It is student work, posted here anonymously.

We Have A Winner

Thank you ALL so much for your kind comments on my guest blog post!  The response was overwhelming, and I wish I had a set of Golden paints for each and every one of you.  But I can give you a couple of downloadable "handouts":

• Working In Series (short article)
• Color and Paint (basic color terms and paint recommendations)

THE WINNER IS... Christine Jermyn in Toronto.  Congratulations, Christine!  E-mail me with a shipping address and I'll get the paints out to you.

Meanwhile, since I can't do a blog post without some kind of image, I'll show you what I'm working on in the studio: a series of "pieces" (really, they are just experiments) exploring all-over atmosphere, color, texture, without strong contrast of any kind.

Well, this one has a bit of contrast, but really soft edges.

I like the really monochrome aspect of this one.

I like these last two, but they stray from my initial intention of being mostly monochrome.  Will keep experimenting. We may do a series like this (with all technique demos) in the Abstract Painting workshop.  But you could try it on your own.

Thanks again for all your terrific comments on my guest post.
