Personally, I gravitate to the visual arts. Painting can mean many things. Currently, I paint in watercolor, encaustic and drawing.

This was for Spring 2023. I used spray ink and stencils for the background, and a paintbrush with ink for the portraits. It's very fun, but I paint them freehand. If I would pencil them in first, I'd make fewer mistakes, I imagine.

The encaustic wax does dull the colors, but you can touch the surface! It soaks into the paper layers and changes them somewhat. The work can be shined with a soft cloth every couple of months. </div>

<a href="https://vimeo.com/frohlocke/thegap" target="_blank">Film of The Gap</a> on vimeo.</div>
<br />
Here's a short film accompanying audio by Ira Glass. He is talking about the gap between what you want to make and what you're making. I posted some of his thoughts on the subject a few years ago. <br />
<br />
This film is very cute and only takes a couple of minutes. I love the printing on the map early on. This was mentioned in the latest newsletter from the wonderful <a href="http://annamieka.com/" target="_blank">Annamieka Hopps Davidson</a>.<br />
<br />
As for my own personal experience, it is taking me forever to get anywhere. I know I need to work more and I've made gains in that area, but I don't even know what watercolor paper I like.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's a recent sketch on Hahnemuhle Nostagie paper, 5 and 3/4 inches by 4 and 1/8 inches.<br />
(Not watercolor paper.)<br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a very happy 2018.<br />

There is always an open show of 6 x 6 art works to raise money for conservation. I donated three pieces this year. Water color topped by clear encaustic medium on 6 x 6 x 1.5 inch boards. I love that the encaustic medium gives an atmospheric look to the art and it allows one to touch the paintings. I struggled a little with this batch, but you can only be where you are at the moment. The middle one, Corvus I, was done while we still were dealing with smoke from the forest fires in the Columbia Gorge. Corvus II was more abstract. Blackbirds was inspired by blackbirds in the reeds by Cathedral Park in Portland.</div>

The first is an on-line class entitled "Wild Wonder" Here's the link: <a href="http://annamieka.com/wildwonder/" target="_blank">http://annamieka.com/wildwonder/</a> Another round will start in October. Annamieka teaches a collage and acrylic technique along with a bit of botany. She uses the Ruzuku site to show videos, as well as a private Facebook group. Here's my piece:<br />

I'm taking the summer session of Intermediate painting at the Drawing Studio on Division Street in Portland, Oregon. <a href="http://www.philandjoanworld.com/index.php/drawing_studio/" target="_blank">Drawing Studio</a> The instructor is always trying to get us to stretch. His philosophy is that it is better to go beyond your comfort zone, than always stopping at 75%.<br />

Last night we had a live model. Here is one stage:<br />

I think I prefer Stage 1, but pushing helped me see what can happen after working it. I'm used to watercolor where you try to get it without overworking it. Apparently, practicing in this way can help with whichever media you choose. It's nice to have some of the white paper showing. Our goal was not to make a pretty painting, but to see what the paint can do. You can tell I'm not great with hands. I'm so impatient.<br />

The third class is another on-line class, the 21 Secrets from a while ago called "Color, color, color!" at <a href="http://www.dirtyfootprints-studio.com/" target="_blank">Dirtyfootprints Studio</a>. Looking forward to trying out some of the techniques. The summer heat is making the garage less than comfortable. It should break soon.<br />

I received this post card yesterday: made from a recycled flyer from Columbus Art Museum. It looks like a monoprint, plus paint, plus collage on top of a photo. Not sure what the photo is, but it definitely looks like a Dale Chihuly blown glass sculpture.Adrianne in Portlandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01677146706255120882noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1945941454627071362.post-28035225293411908192016-11-27T17:17:00.000-08:002016-11-27T17:19:02.887-08:00Received in the Fall Postcard swap 2016<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I wrote fewer words and mostly used letter stamps for the words. I ordered a custom chop, but it didn't arrive in time. Most of the cards are using the paper rated "full blur." You can see how the paint spreads in the Nasturtium card below. The stamps are from Spain in the 1980's. I found a stack of letters written by friends I met there in college. I need to read through the letters again, but I'll save that for a nostalgia day. In the meantime I grabbed some of the stamps for the art project.<br />

I'm obviously inspired by my surroundings: my dog, my cat, a mini pumpkin my husband has on his desk, an owl from the Audubon Society of Portland, indoor flowers we had from the market, nasturtiums and asters from our yard.</div>

Speaking of the Audubon society, I just could not decide on a design for the 6x6 project this year. I gave up, but we did go to the show this weekend. We picked up a couple of steel ravens for the yard and notecards.</div>

I had intended to make some reduction linocut cards, but that didn't work out. Maybe I should start NOW for the next swap. So, I played around with water color and words. The mantras helped with how I've been feeling lately.<br />

Apparently my camera was on some strange setting, and I didn't notice until now. But, since I've already sent these out, they're the best I've got.<br />
<br />
These post cards are for iHanna's Postcard swap: <a href="http://www.ihanna.nu/postcard-swap/">http://www.ihanna.nu/postcard-swap/</a><br />
<br />
I used acrylic paint mixed with water in a spray bottle with a stencil. I painted the rest with water color. Then I threw on a few stamps. I've been wanting to get better at painting trees, so it was good practice. <br />
