New Technique

A couple of weeks ago I took a workshop given by Arwana Schwamer on painting on masa paper.   I have been curious about this for a while.   It involves wetting masa paper, slapping on paint and sumi ink then glueing the masa to watercolor paper.    When the whole thing is dry, applying watercolors using a whole different brush technique.    I had a lot of fun doing this.   The masa paper gives a really nice textured effect.

Coming show

Josh Brown (the potter) and I are doing a show together in the Backroom at the Garrett County Arts Council beginning on August 21.   The show will be up for 5 weeks.  The opening reception will be on Saturday August 25 from 5 to 7.    Josh and I have been friends for almost 20 years so the show is called

"Friends. . .pots and paintings".

 The reception is open to the public
