Lisa Perverts Art Supplies (Thursday Night Art Jam)
Lisa Perverts Art Supplies, photo by Robert A. Sloan
Tonight I asked my Thursday night art pal Lisa if I could get a picture of her with her latest painting. She does the coolest, most creative and inspirational things every time she perverts art supplies! You'd think that gorgeous nude was an oil painting, or maybe acrylic -- but she used Loew-Cornell tube watercolors straight from the tube to create those lush darks and interesting clouds. Actually it's opaque watercolor, so it's a gouache painting -- on stretched canvas.
I never would have thought of that in a million years, and it looks great. It's 16" x 20", an impressive size, and she's mixed it with transparent watercolors in some areas to get the particular hues she wanted and to change the texture. I love it, and she posed for me with it. Her cutting up and getting silly resulted in a great expression too, and she may do a self portrait from this photo.
Her art site is Zizaart.com and she has many more beautiful pieces posted. So that's who my Thursday night Art Muse is, now you can see what she does when Ari sheds his Cat Hairs of Inspiration on us both!
I started the evening by finishing kkitten42's IceAndInk logo:
Lisa also did an alkyd underpainting for an alkyd (oils) ACEO "Drawing Down the Moon," in between working on Mother Earth, Father Sky (the big painting in my photo), and I did four little ACEO underpaintings in Burnt Umber, so we used all the burnt umber that I put out on the porcelain palette by the time we were done. Those are drying in the bathroom just like the oils we did last summer of the Black-Eyed Susans, and I'll post mine tomorrow if it truly does dry solid to touch overnight! I hope it does, I'm really looking forward to doing oils in a reasonable amount of time!
