Tuesdays with Bill . . .

Today in Bill Buchman's creative breakout class we learned about washes and glazes. We worked primarily with watercolors . . . but oil pastels too, and Bill spoke about composition and math -addition, subtraction, dividing, multiplying. This was the best math class I've ever taken! He gave us some guidelines for our assignment, demonstrated for us -that's him above in the collage and he showed us techniques like scraffiti (on the right) and scumbling (left side). View larger for more detail.

I have been taking mixed media art classes with Bill for gosh, 2 years now. This was my first blip from his class in January of 2012. Since then I have gone on to do about 20 blipfoto journal entries on his classes - you can take a peek on this page as I have tagged them all. With his encouragement I have also created about a dozen short videos on his classes! Find those here.

You could say I am a bit inspired by Bill Buchman, his art and his teaching. I have learned so much, been able to apply some of what I've learned and simply been really inspired by these classes. Thank you, Bill.
