The suggestion was made that we could buy a used book and reuse the cover materials to make more of them. I thought that was great so I bought a used book, took out the pages and finished the cover with tapestry fabric. Of course, I pulled out sewing trims, papers, glue, everything. My whole little apartment was involved in one book project. Amazing how these little projects expand…
Lessons at the school are expanding. I am working on a Bargue copy, an old master copy, and tonal studies. The studies are painted in black and white gouache on watercolor paper. Each study has something different to teach. Each kind of work requires different ways of thinking. Just think of a day full of Ah Ha moments and you’ll get the idea.
I’m taking pictures and plan to make a portfolio cover to hold pictures of my cast drawings. The plan is to take a digital image of each step, print them out, mount them on sheets with explanations and thoughts about the learning, then put them in a beautiful portfolio. Should be interesting.
Picture would make all this clear so let’s see if I can attach….
