“From modeling
paste to scrapbook paper or glued on gems, or plant material, I use many
things. I sometimes will finish a piece in Photoshop to give it that final
oomph. It just depends on my mood and if
it fits the piece,” says mixed media artist, Katrina Fowler.
Ana
Quinn, ceramic artist, says, “First, I spray a glaze on a bisqued (once fired)
piece, then draw and paint images with colored under-glazes over the glaze. The
subject matter of my paintings is often related to anthropology which I studied
in school. I’ve taken images of the visions I saw painted in the
Paleolithic caves of France, petroglyphs of NW Indians from the Columbia Basin,
and the stylized paintings of the ancient Mimbres Pueblo Indians.”
Wonder what other weird technique or process you’ll get to see during Washington County Open Studios? October 18 and 19 from 11 am to 5 pm, 40 artists will be demonstrating their techniques for you.
“I use a French
technique called “Serti”, explains silk painter, Patti Isaacs, “which roughly
translated means boundaries. My paint is
Procien dye.”
