Sherry Telle's FCA workshop - Inks on Yupo (post #2)

"Flowering Imagination"

10" x 10" Alcohol Ink on Yupo Paper

These are the second group of paintings I did in the afternoon of Sherry Telle's Calgary FCA workshop "Ink's on Yupo Paper. After lunch Sherry did a second demo and I worked on the larger pieces of paper and one tile. This time I tried to go further with the inks, trying designs and used a photographic reference (for the next one)  rather than just random...and had even more fun! I was happily exhausted at the end of the day.

"Flowering Fun"

6" x 4" alcohol ink on Yupo paper

Yesterday the Calgary Chapter of the FCA had very fun "alcohol ink on Yupo paper" workshop with the ever engaging Sherry Telle. We all had so much fun. After

Sherry's instruction, we worked on small 4" x 6" Yupo paper just to get an idea of how the medium worked. I absolutely loved the vibrancy of the colours and it felt like watching a living organism as it moved on it's own.

I took a photo when we were travelling through one of the tunnels in the Roger's Pass on the Transcanada Highway in B.C. The sun was shining and I loved all the colours and reflections. I am really happy with this abstracted view.

"Fireworks"

This painting reminds me of the July 1 Canada Day fireworks celebration in Sicamous B.C. The fireworks are set off from a barge just outside the public beach. There are as many people in boats as in the park! One of my favourite fireworks is when they burst into small balls and fly in every direction until they fizzle out. The holes or white spots as they appear in this photo is actually the unpainted board showing through. The 1 1/4" wood sides are unpainted and framing is not required.

The great thing about abstract art is you can hang it what ever way suits you and your imagination. Hanging it this way makes it look entirely different. I have signed it on the back.

Fountain Fun

Pouring Medium with acrylic paint

This high energy painting was done with a pouring medium and acrylic paint. I loved everything about it - colours, movement and design. Pouring medium almost has a life of it's own and everything makes it move and settle, including the weight of the paint, the air moving or nudging the table. It really reminded me of being a kid and holding your finger down on the water fountain!
