Totally Plucked
It was a great honour, great fun to do the illustrations for an album or should I say a CD.. Totally Plucked. My life dream was always to be an illustrator for LP covers. I absolutely loved LP covers growing up.
The designer of the record was Roz Hermant, who’s also an amazing photographer and mix media artist. http://rozhermant.com Jan- Paul Campeau producer is a amazing musician and Andrew Hermant who is just simply brilliant.
The Process
I finally finish my piece that I will be submitting into the Art School of Peterborough Auction happening on April 14 2018 . http://artschoolptbo.org/art-auction-2018/
It’s A bigger piece 16”x16”. This piece is an example of mix media ..I combined Scratchboard with acrylic media… I though it would be interesting to see the process. The piece took me about 2 weeks to complete…. Not sure what to name it yet.
Scratchboard Class.
I wanted to write about my amazing students that I had in my fall semester class.
Cindy -Ellen Morgan,Sandra Shearer,Val Cowle,Wendy Jones,Laurie Jones
I consider myself fortunate to know these ladies.
They all amazed me with their talent. They all took on the scratchboard like professionals . To think most of the students in this class were experiencing scratchboard for the first time. The tendency for scratchboard is to draw white outlines; these ladies picked up very quickly the importance of having volume, texture : highlights and low lights. What impressed me the very most was they had their own signature, their own unique style …No two students are like and I love that.
I love watching people discovering scratchboard and falling in love with it as much as I do.
I should all so point out that Cindy-Ellen Morgan and Sandra Shearer have been me since the beginning . They are truly master at scratchboard.
I should note we are missing one amazing student piece Anna Lee stay tune for her piece.
