Student work from Spring 2007 semester

Jason Adams, Untitled, about 16X20, oil, wax and sand on prepared watercolor paper

Project: Drawing II, response to lecture and demo on a technique I use personally. Students gessoed 140lb watercolor paper, then applied two coats of satin polyurethane. Once dry, Jason mixed oil paint, wax, and sand and applied it to the paper and allowed it to "set" for several days. Using wooden clay tools, palette knives, and whatever else he could get his hands on he scraped and tinted the resulting image. You can see some of my attempts at this technique at my website http://www.carolynwhitman.com/ .
