"Getting Plastered" Workshop - Student Work

Deborah Middleton-Hope, Bird Project

Close up

I have been truly inspired by my student's work from my online "Getting Plastered"  workshop.  This  is one of my favorites from Deborah Middleton-Hope. 


I am delighted to see many of my students take the techniques they learned in the workshop and use them as a joyous expression of their own unique voice.

More beautiful student work!  This final piece really demonstrates the use of the Micheal's burlap canvas.  It has such a professional finish once the final painting is revealed. 

Once you see the luscious textures you get with painting on plaster, I think Nancy and Deb would agree that it gets addicting.  Bravo!

I'm having so much fun over at Artful Gathering greeting new students and getting to see all the faculty's work and profile pages. I am so grateful to be part of this site and group of talented teachers.

The workshop registration is open for anyone wanting to see how I do these plaster paintings. Hope you'll join me.

Creating this plaster background was very fun, but I had no idea what to put in the foreground.  I decided on a coastal bird, but it just didn't look right against all the cracks and texture. Then I thought of these crows and they definitely worked for me.
