White Hydrangea
Week 2, Bennington, Vermont
The following pieces are the last images I’ll post from the Art New England / Mass Art workshop at Bennington College, Vermont. I was thrilled to be in a class called “Advanced Painting.” We were shown methods of working on mylar using pencil and a slurry of graphite powder and stand oil/OMS. It’s a delicious medium to use for fluid handling of values. The images have characteristics of litho, monoprint, charcoal, and photo, depending on how the materials are pushed. It’s incredibly flexible and expressive. The mylar also takes watercolor, gouache, and oils. Archival longevity has not been established.
