All white with a black pattern on the top. I just used painter's masking tape to make the design.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hand painted a leopard print with some coloured spots onto the legs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Found a tutorial for the leopard print at <a href="http://traceysfancy.com/">Tracey's Fancy.</a></div>

Most of the time I like to experiment just to see where it takes me.....After reading about Image Transfers thought I would have a try with a black & white photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After all the backing paper was removed it was a little bland & ghost like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Which I liked but decided a darker background was needed to bring the image more into focus. Black gesso over used watercolour paper & a bird stencil over the black with white gesso made a much more interesting background.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the image was placed over the black & white it created more depth, pushing the old building back & making it more ghost like, and this brought the girl riding her bike forward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once on the canvas it still needed something else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A colourful frame..... acrylic painted over old used watercolour paper, collage frame image & a border stenciled with markers. Two subtle bird image transfers, some branches with buds & text transfer & a spotty transfer on the top at the sides to finish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Two collages exercises from the workshop with <a href="http://www.thealteredpage.blogspot.com/">Seth Apter</a> (click the link to see his blog for up coming tutorials/workshops ).<br />
These were fairly quick exercises as we worked almost non stop except for a lunch break & morning & afternoon tea, most of our class skipped the afternoon cuppa.....trying to get our stencils & collages completed.<br />

Do you read art magazines? <br />
Do you look at all the tutorials & think there is one little piece of the puzzle missing?<br />
You do everything step by step but it doesn't quite look like you think it should.<br />
Me too!<br />
So when I heard the Art is You Mixed Media Roadshow was coming to Australia.......to Queensland.....to Tewantin !! I booked two workshops with <a href="http://www.thealteredpage.blogspot.com/">Seth Apter, mixed media artist</a>......<br />
Seth is a very generous tutor, he was more than happy to fill in all the missing gaps & show the class how he makes art step by step to the very end.<br />
If you are interested in any of his up coming workshops go have a look where he will be teaching.<br />
Lots of information on his blog <a href="http://www.thealteredpage.blogspot.com/">www.thealteredpage.blogspot.com</a><br />

Just four weeks ago this was a blank canvas (48" x 36").<br />
When someone asks me to " paint something for them", the question starts racing through my head: WHAT??.....Paint what?.....Not such a dilemma when you know the person well, as I did in this case.<br />
Once the size & colours were agreed on I was pretty much left to make the subject decision myself.<br />
I knew roads were a favourite with this person. My interpretation of this road is located very close to her birthplace of Cooma NSW. (Australia).<br />
First thing to do was cover the canvas with yellow acrylic, draw a basic composition for the road & the Poplar trees. Sort through the paper stash to find images of her hobbies, likes, memories & start tearing the suitable images to make a start.<br />
<br />

fun discovering the relevance of some images.<br />
