These are pictures of students' works from the Bodacious Bottoms workshop that Kerri and I held Sunday of this past weekend. The samples, here, are the Claybord pieces. Each student had a 6 x 6 piece of Claybord to work on. I just love what they did!
We began by sketching a grid into the Claybord with pencil and then scratching into areas with dental tools, screws, nails, Xacto knives, household things that can be used for texture - really a therapeutic process! We followed through with soft pastel application using Gesso and/or fluid matte medium to blend, then a layer of oil pastels, pan pastels for shadowing, stencils with molding paste, etc. We added some detail lines with Pitt pens, poster paints, etc.
After the Claybord project, I shared a background technique using deli paper.
Kerri shared two wonderful techniques using wooden fence posts to create a garden ornament and also a wonderful collage with a foam core base. I hope to get pictures of these over time to share here.
Did everyone have a good weekend? I hope so. How's your weather? We are now in a very rainy and cool period here again.
Have a great week ahead everyone!

Okay, now YOU have me spending my money--I have to try Clayboard--I Love these effects--your students did well!
These all turned out fabulous. I know, as a teacher, you were probably quite pleased. Good students reflect well on the teacher. Enjoyed reading about the process, too.
Stay dry this week. Looks like our little bit of rain on either Wednesday or Thursday (can't remember which day) has now found its way to your neck of the woods. It's dry here, and the sun is finally out today, after three days of clouds and gloom. BTW, I like your new blog banner.
Great artwork - so fun to see all the different pieces! Creative people and teacher ; )
I just cannot believe I was unable to take this class....what a bummer...everyone's pieces look terrific....
You must be great teachers -- these are fabulous!
