Here are pictures of the banner I made for the Art Works space on Second and Dayton in Edmonds, WA. It was made by crumpling a 4 foot by 6 foot piece of canvas into a bucket of thinned gesso to prime. Then I applied thick gesso to the canvas over some ferns and tissue papers to give it texture and leave prints that would change the way the paint took to the surface. After that dried, I washed thinned color over the whole canvas and then laid out my composition and painted it in. They should add some color and excitement to the space. I am honored to have contributed to the enhancement of a space so generously given to the Artists Connect group for meetings. I really enjoyed painting LARGE!
