June Demonstrator: Lynn Slade

Lynn’s paintings are a combination of textured papers and watercolor. She makes her own textures in the paper first using both custom-made stencils and purchased ones as well as hand-cut stamps, items found around the house or her husband’s workshop, tin foil, sand paper, old dog toys; anything that will leave an interesting pattern. After the papers have their texture, she hand-colors them with a wide variety of colors and values. She uses these papers to create scenes full of wonderful varied textures that draw the viewer into the painting. Each layer enhances the one beneath it and the accumulation makes for a very dramatic and rich surface. Lynn’s demonstration will focus on her whimsical animals.
