It's a whole month of wine themed events at the Woodlands. The
Woodlands Art League is displaying a front window of wine themed art. I have just completed several pieces. Two traditional and a total of four mixed media that have a bit of a contemporary feel. The process of creating mixed media work is very liberating, you really don't have to do much thinking, I just go with what feels right. On these I used an acrylic paper for my base, put layers of acrylic paint for a backdrop then adhered my paper ephemera with gel medium. I then went in an added the vines, grape leaves and bordered and finished up with the pen and ink. I used some metallic acrylics for the first time and like the bit of shine it gives the final work. The point is, don't be afraid to just jump in. There is no right or wrong and each time a learn a bit more.
