Trying New Techniques
October 17th, 2009 by Sue
I have been having a play with oils. Here is a garden of a friend on the Isle de Re:
I have also been experimenting with an idea I learnt from Mike Chaplin on his course in Norfolk. Wetting the paper so thoroughly it is “relaxed”, then using a solution of gum arabic shaving lovely jewel soft pastels on to the paper and use a sponge, fingers or a brush to work out the image. Very free and loose working, happy 5 year old!!:
At the moment I am just experimenting, but it’s a lovely way to work and free up.

Sue I attended your inspirational class at Charton Marshall. You used a special brush which I thought I had written doem the name but can’t find> Could you kindly let me know I am sure it began with a T.
