Mixed media (cyanotype, acrylic, acrylic transfer, oil pastel, and oil) on linen, 31cm x 41cm
This one started out as a cyanotype but was overexposed, so I started working into it and on top of it. I really like the strangeness of it. It almost seems like an alien creature or landscape.
I’m really excited to be teaching this longer and more intensive version of the course that I taught in April. This is my favourite technique- I use it in most of my paintings. I’ve always been interested in combining my photography and painting. Acrylic transfer has been around about as long as acrylic paints, but it started to really make sense when combined with Photoshop, acrylic colours, and laser jet printing- giving me the freedom to work in any scale. I’ve been perfecting my methods over the last four years and now I want to teach you what I’ve discovered!
The course takes place at the absolutely gorgeous West Dean College near Chichester in West Sussex. For more information, click here!
