WOYWW 782 Wax resist, hare- painting, boho crochet

Hi all,

Here’s my desk this week at art class where we started to play with wax resist. 

Using oil pastels, wax crayons, candles and PVA glue, we lay down layers that will resist a later application of watercolour, to provide pops of colour, patterns, or highlights. 

After half-term, we’ll use these on a still life. 

The break allows me to catch up with my ink/twig/feather and watercolour hare. I want to do a wet in wet section underneath its back, with stretched clingfilm to suggest grasses, but then it’s finished, I think. 

Here are my ATCs from the crop:

Caro, Neet, Julia, Mary Anne,Angela, another CaroI think, (Bella has just sat on my lap and disrupted them😹)with Eva and Neet in the front row. 

Cindy, Annie, my * one from Annie, Jo and Sarah

And a lovely card from Julia thanking us for her gift. 

I’m sure one or two have gone astray but I’ll display them again. 

This one just arrived from Susan Renshaw. 

The boho bag is progressing. I’ll sew it over a plain cotton bag. 

And finally…

I always liked Wiley Coyote- I have a theory that if you don’t look down, you don’t fall. 

Take care and happy WOYWW 

Hugs
