Technique Tuesday for September
Hey there, my lovely fellow painters.
Welcome to the September TT post, full of exciting artistic experiments for you. This month I have set myself the theme of ‘The River’ so that I could share a whole range of subjects and media for you to enjoy. My online workshop will be tackling a canal boat and my All A-Board Artists art group will be looking at reflections, bullrushes and collage, just to name a few of the sessions I have planned.
For TT this month I thought I would share some mixed media techniques on a heron portrait, those majestic yet slightly prehistoric creatures that stalk their prey from the edge of the water.
So grab your materials, unleash your creativity, and let's embark on an exciting artistic adventure amidst the world of the river, don’t forget to leave me a comment either here or on YouTube and if you share your work on social media, please include the tag @aliboardartist.
See you again very soon and good luck with all your creative experiments, Ali.
