Cathedral of Dreams Cortona with Lisa Bebi
LEARN DEEP FISSURE CRACKLING IN ESCONDIDO this Sat May 22. I can't help but think of cathedrals when I think of Italy and Europe. Their crumbling and aged walls are inspiration for much of my work today.
Icon interior paintings are created by Lisa Bebi in her notorious paintover method. She will teach you how to transform pages from magazines to create painterly art, how cool is that!!
Here are just a few examples of saints representing our alter ego sainted selves.
St. Rita- "She believes the best in others" "St. Lucia brings light to the darkness"
Crackle baby!
In ESCONDIDO May 22 I'll be showing crackling and lots of other aging effects using advanced formulas. this Sat. May 22 from 12- 3:00 as here is a project from the Italian workshop with Lisa Bebi and myself in Sept. Check out the fissures- Love em! In Escondido I'll be showing crackling and lots of other aging effects using advanced formulas.
This is a rarely held workshop and will benefit those who want to take their artwork and collage to the next level. Before unseen techniques will be taught.

Click here for link to Escondido Arts Gallery and more about my class
Are you going to be in San Diego in May? I'll be teaching at the Escondido Arts Gallery on the 22nd. It would be great fun to meet you there! Loads of texturing, crackling effects for canvas, various photo transfer methods, exciting Italian workshop effects, and techniques/tips from some of my published works will be shared. You will learn so much. Classes are such fun and we can really get on a roll telling jokes as we work along- might be my most favorite part!

I love San Diego, there is such a great spirit to the place. I think much of it has to do with the naval base being there. Ted and I have decided it's an all time favorite place to be. People there just seem to be unusually kind, respectful and honorable. I love that! http://www.escondidoarts.org/
