Fractured Angels
February 27th - March 1st ~ 2015
Wacky Nut Farm ~ Bainbridge Island, WA
" Insight is better than eyesight when it comes to seeing an angel" ~Eileen Elias Freeman
Workshop Description ~
In this 2+ day workshop, Kate will be demonstrating her painting techniques using plaster layered wood panels as the substrate. You will learn how to layer plaster, apply stencils, sand and finally, add paint to create a rich and mysterious background. We will work on a collage angel as well as painting a close up portrait with a relief halo created by plaster and palette knives.
Kate will provide a variety of angel images for inspiration, ranging from religious/spiritual down to the angel that has been a bit fractured (Kate's favorite). She also has a beautiful collection of images on Pinterest which she will share too.
