The Result of Paint and Pass

This is the canvas I started on at the beginning of the workshop. The other artists worked on it after me. It changed quite a bit along the way.

The Pass and Paint Critique

At the end of the workshop the artists talked about the paintings and how they turned out. I only managed to take photos of the last critique. The artists enjoyed the workshop.

Pass and Paint

Here are the photos from the "Pass and Paint" Workshop sponsored by the Jefferson Art Guild at the Seventh Ward Senior Citizen Center (fondly referred to as "The Pink House."

The Still Lifes

Here are the three still lifes used for a workshop called "Pass and Paint."

The object of the workshop was for several artists to work on paintings in rotations. Every 20 minutes artists rotated chairs counterclockwise.

Handmade Paper from the Workshop

Here are the handmade pieces of paper I made during the Papermaking workshop. I added various materials to the pulp on my screen. These works are roughly 9" x 12".

Kelly Newsome Introduces Atelier Interactive

Last Thursday, artist Kellie Newsome introduced Chroma’s new Atelier Interactive to a group of artists at a workshop. It’s a new acrylic paint that does not dry as a plastic. This new paint is much easier to remove from paper and canvas. Different additives liquids are used to affect drying time and permanence. The workshop was held at the Westwego Art Center in Westwego, LA.





Kelly talked about the work she has created using Atelier Interactive. She discussed her experiences with the medium and the additive solutions. Also she had sample squares showing the different techniques that were possible with the paint and specific additional products.



After going over the paints and the additive solutions, she turned artists loose to experiment with the medium on paper and canvas. There were two or three artists at each table. Below are some photos I took during the workshop.
