Discussions and demonstrations about making, selling, teaching, and appreciating art are offered here. Teaching and painting for over 40 years, has provided me plenty of insights and expertise, which I happily share here.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your work! You're amazing...so talented. I have a similar color palate I'm drawn to using. I took your class in Sedona before covid. I hope to see you in person again.
I've worked on Terra Skin which is slick like Yupo. The techniques work well, but if you want to put many layers of paint on the surface, you have to spray fixiaive or varnish between layers.
I like the way the marks and the thin washes of paint go into the wood. The first layers dry much faster and as they build up, the surface gets sealed. Try working on the panels unprimed...maybe you'll understand! It's so fun!
Joan, a friend of mine told me about you. I am a painter beginning painter and with some talent… But relatively new at painting. I love abstracts and I wanted to let you know I love your quote regarding the difference between a master and a beginner. Thank you so much. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your work as I have subscribed.
Thank you, Joan! As a struggling beginner getting in my own way, this was just what I needed. Couple questions are you using white gesso instead of white paint and what kind of glue would you use to glue your paper to a canvas?
I do use gesso instead of white paint...it's more opaque and cheaper! I use an archival glue called Lamin All, search it on Amazon. You dilute it so a quart lasts a very long time.
This is the comment I thought I had sent you yesterday but by mistake it went to someone else: "That was so fun & interesting. This is quite a discovery for me - how to loosen up. I love what you do & how you do it. Thank you so much, very generous of you.
On my website, joanfullertonworkshops.com, I have a tab called "handouts", it shows the cradled panels I use the most. Lately I've been ordering some on Amazon and having them shipped ahead to where I'm teaching. They seem to be just fine as well.
Love the show thank you. I thought you and your subscribers would love to see a new artist on his youtube!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u6_yQfZogBQ.html
Joan I just discovered you today ……what a pleasure,fun, interesting , good laughs , spontaneous art is the best I get lost trying to figure out what direction I’m going in. So thank you so very much for inspiring me to just go for it .
I like 140 paper too, although most of my work is on cheap canvas....I shouldn't say cheap,I mean affordable to me right now.im on SS so I have to watch my spending
Joan, didn't you teach a class in Pensacola, FL. about 15 yr's or so ago for Quayside Gallery? If so, I was in your class. Well, you have a lady in the bottom middle. I enjoyed that so much. I think it was gorgeous and I learned a lot.
