Art and Soul proved to be a great retreat this year. I enjoyed seeing friends and making new ones plus teaching and taking classes. In Judy Wise's class we learned how to stencil our family photographs. Here is a stencil I cut from a 1940's photo of my mother catching a large fish off the Florida coast. I sprayed the stencil on collaged paper, collaged cut-out swimsuit and fish on top and covered everything with bees wax for a rich, textured look.
Melissa Hackmann taught us how to make accordion books and use them for sketching.
Albie Smith helped us create fabulous decorated papers and this book with multi-colored pages.
Jacqueline Newbold demonstrated how she uses watercolor in her travel sketchbooks. I learned
new watercolor techniques and ideas for keeping a travel journal.
Wow this is so cool to see your wonderful watercolor again! Good luck with your journaling. It was great to meet you Paula,
