We gessoed watercolor paper and canvas (which had been stitched together). Then we played with acrylic paints to make backgrounds.
I like all mine, but this little indigo has a Japanese feel, wabi sabi. I really like it!
Jane also showed us how to design and cut stencils from freezer paper which will be used later as the collage elements build.
I'll be back to show how these collages develope as the class progresses!
