Testing Art Spectrum Plein Air Optimum Boards – Second Work
This is the second set of progression photos in testing out these Art Spectrum boards. Photo 1. Collaged papers applied on the boards, one “White” board and one “Blue Haze”. The boards are acid-free and archival, with a thin layer of aluminium inside for sturdiness. They are light in weight.(The work on the white board has been covered in a previous blog). Photo 2. I placed an acrylic wash with Atelier “Ultramarine Blue". Photo 3. AS soft pastel in purple pushed in with water and a brush. Photo 4. When dry, the first layers of AS soft pastels are applied.

Three days in a row of mixed media techniques, working with people eager to learn and create - what a great way to finish off my NSW workshops road trip. Thankyou to those people who continue to support me in my teaching - I love sharing how I add to visual stories. And thankyou to my husband who keeps my car in running order - the car has driven over some demanding road surfaces stuffed with art supplies and canvases - it is heartening knowing I can depend in it to get through. I'll be back down in NSW in
