Happy Thanksgiving!

Two birds that made it through Canadian Thanksgiving! Top is alcohol ink, bottom is an oil painting. I was lucky enough to be able to celebrate with lots of family in Sicamous, B.C. this year. Safe travels to everyone travelling home.

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.
