Sneak Preview and Fall Classes!

Ground Stories, detail, ©2016 Elizabeth Sanford

Here’s a sneak preview of my latest sculpture, Ground Stories; I’ll be putting the finishing touches on it this week! I love hearing the towhee’s song, although this is the first time I’ve painted one; they like to scratch around in the fallen leaves for food.

I’m excited to announce 2 Watercolor classes starting in September, a 9-week one at Watkins and an 8-week one at Plaza; September is also your last chance to take my Practical Color Theory workshop this year. Find out the details here: https://www.elizabethsanford.com/classes/

Mystery Technique #51

Are you curious about how this was done? I’ll explain next month, so be sure to sign up for email updates to find out!

 

ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #50:

This collage began with loosely painted watercolor shapes. After they dried, I tore and crumpled pieces of Unryu paper before placing them on part of the painting’s surface.  By brushing matte acrylic medium on top of the Unryu,  I glued it down while emphasizing its translucency and long fibers. I also added a multi-layered collage fragment near the center. After the matte medium dried,  I used thin washes of acrylic ink in a few places to create a greater sense of unity.
