"Peace Within"
I was recently fortunate enough to host a workshop with the most fabulous artist, Jenny Grant. http://www.flowbyjenny.com/en
I first found Jenny on Facebook a couple of years ago. Jenny is from Stockholm, Sweden. On a whim, last year I asked her if she would come to the US and hold a workshop. To my surprise, she said yes and was gracious enough to come to Colorado and hold a workshop on her mixed media techniques. This painting was a result of her workshop.
Here below are some photos of how my painting progressed through the many layers. The first pictures depict how papers, inks, and paints were layered on to this piece.
Then I added more modeling paste for texture and then more color!
After drying, we took a reference photo and proceeded to add a face. I wanted the face to meld in with the background.
I will be forever grateful to Jenny for coming all the way over here to teach. She is one of the most gracious, kind, compassionate people that I've ever met. What a blessing to call her "friend".
I will be holding on to this painting, but I'd love to hear from you! You can send me an email at: saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com
