ART EXPERIMENTS and YOUNG VOLUNTEERS!

Summer is sooo much fun...in the Adult classes we are going to try a bit of glazing and palette knife work!!
This afternoon I started a piece for practise and used only a palette knife to mix gel into some acrylic and paint!. The scene is the Italian coast with all the pastel building of stone. Perfect for the knife.
The Liquin Light is poured into small glass jars ready for the students....glazing is by far one of my most favorite techniques. Because glazing is so intuitive I will have to analyse what I do.  I hope it makes sense to everyone!
The Art in the Garden is still in full swing. Everyone is thankful for the sunny weather and hopefully there will be a mad rush of folks heading to First Choice Nursery. I 'll be back on Sat July 02 for the Kids Art Event. I have two adult volunteers (Marg O and Debbie) and two children- Ava, only 8!! and Sydney, 11 yrs old!! I am thanking their parents in advance...it is incredible to have such young persons start volunteering! Well done parents!! Well done kids!! ;D
