Saturday May 14th was a fun day at Leada Wood's Studio Twenty. It's always a good time when a roomful of artists get together to try something new. Suzy Pal is such a good instructor, so generous to share her techniques with all of us, and she is just fun!  If you get the chance to take her workshop you will be in for a treat.

Paper Geisha Beginnings

After tracing over my drawing with sharpie marker so I wouldn't lose my design, I glued down the back ground . Then I started ripping tiny pieces of colored paper from magazine pages and gluing them down. Trying to use them like paint, keeping in mind that I had to use different values to build form and shape.
