My week with Jenn Adamson was full of experimentation and exploration. Jenn is an artist who is always looking for new ways to push the batik medium and she was generous enough to share some of her discoveries with me.
Bleaching out a color in order to apply a contrasting color.
My (failed) experiment with wood. But at least I tried!
Batik on paper opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me!
Jenn's batiks on newspaper are incredible! What an perfect way to preserve current events.
Of course, I had to try my own newspaper batik. Obama, Q2, the Grand National horse race, etc. - April 4th, 2009 is literally the bases of this piece.
Velvet however, was the best. I love the shimmery colors and soft textures that it produced. This painting was influenced by a recent trip to Conwry castle and Mt. Snowdonia in Wales.
