The news from Yvonne Perez-Collins came as a delight for those of us waiting for another visit from Teri Martin. Yvonne arranged for her to stop at SDFC for a one-day workshop, February 6, 2008, on her way to Los Angeles's SfC.
The subject: coat acrylic paint over Fabriano and Strathmore sheets in dried layers to create color forms in depth. The tools: large plastic plates as palettes - kindly offered by Jeanen Monteleone; a utility brush to spread the rainbow of colors, and items to incise or draw on the work.
We each started by creating a color wheel to direct our use of color, and with easy-flow Daniel Smith acrylics we painted, waited to dry, used a different sheet, and at various stages, Teri showed us how she proceeded. Teri brought posters, calendars, cards - a sweet range of beautiful art at a special price for us. She has licensed the greeting cards to Leanin' Tree - the simple quotes by Goethe, Emerson or Confucius juxtaposed amid a riot of brilliant color. The posters and other pieces are licensed to other companies. Teri gave us a great start, and now it is up to us to follow through.
