I wanted to share this image with everyone of a piece that one of my students finished at my workshop I had last month at Shell Point in Fort Myers. It took my breath away because she was so reluctant to start gluing the paper down during the class because it seemed so overwhelming to try to make this look like a sailboat with only pieces of magazine paper. So I was determined that she will be will be proud of this piece once she finishes it and I helped her get started one piece at a time. That is the way I to approach creating my Layered Imagery.
She emailed me later and asked a few questions about how to finish the background and the only thing I advised was to select a dark blue sky to make the sails pop out. She said she was not sure she got the Layered Imagery technique down even though I knew she had based on the work she did during the class. The next email I got from her was this beautiful finished sailboat! (she laid the photo I gave her to work from above her piece). And she asked me if she passed the class.
My response was A++. She should be proud.
This is a great example of how my students get so involved and excited about their Layered Imagery pieces they are creating at my 3 hour workshops. This student finished this masterpiece and look how wonderful it turned out and I know that my goal that she would be proud of what she did that day came true! That is only one example of what my students and I experience in the workshops.
If you are interested in coming to my next workshop and creating something you are proud of, I am having a workshop at Moorings Park July 20, 2010 from 9AM - 12PM. I am also scheduling workshops for private parties and I am giving one for a family reunion next fall. So if you would like to have your own Layered Imagery party please call me 239-293-4167.
