July 13, 2016 Jan Davidson paints in encaustics
Jan is an artist who paints and draws in many mediums. Her latest love is encaustics, an ancient medium thousands of years old with examples still in existence. The encaustics are wax plus a resin. each layer must be fused with a heat gun. Paper, dried materials, photos and almost anything can be added as long as they are coated with clear wax to seal and fused. Colored wax can be painted on to add detail. The waxes come in a range of colors and some are iridescent or metallic. An exciting old medium given a modern update.
August 10, 2016 Zentangles or Zendoodles?
Anne McCune and Colette Savage both do similar pieces, but Anne calls her work Zentangles and Colette calls hers Zendoodles. The difference is in the approach. Zentangles use patterns and designs which were developed in California. The artist is free to develop and use these in any way they please, but they still retain the formal Zentangle foundation. Zendoodles on the other hand are freer in approach. Starting with a free form line that develops into shapes, Colette then fills in the shapes using repetitive patterns. She looks for something form nature, a snail, mushroom or flower and then develops the image. Both are meditative and relaxing. A fun activity.
