In creating much of this mixed media work I have used a process of lifting rust, carbon and markings from charred surfaces (mainly bakeware). The rust, carbon, and markings become embedded in an acrylic “skin”. These “skins”are translucent and flexible. In addition to using these as finished pieces sometimes I add other things - image transfers, paint, found objects. Similar works are included under installations.

Spotlight: Artist and Printmaker Penny Bhadresa
Today I wandered into the artwork of British Printmaker Penny Bhadresa who mainly uses layered linocut work to create her finely detailed storyteller prints
..here a snippet from her artist statement ..
.. ” work in a variety of media but principally linocut, mixed media, acrylic and watercolour. My subject matter reflects my interest in nature, landscape, garden and architectural settings, and everyday objects. I like to evoke atmosphere through subject and colour. I am drawn to subjects which display a rich historical past or have a strong sense of place, be it intimate and domestic or part of a larger landscape. I am interested in the underlying shapes and forms that impose structure and design on a subject and aim to incorporate them into my work. Colour, texture, pattern and line are all significant elements in my work and together, combine to produce work that is strong and uplifting in its impact…..”

Art Journals and Travel Sketchbooks by Susan Abbot
Today I wandered into the travel sketchbooks of Susan Abbott.. who has been keeping travel sketchbooks for her journeys to India, France, England and Italy …
I love looking at the way people process the world, which part of the world interests artists long enough to stop and make a note in their sketchbook…
I like how Susan Abbot keeps her color palette to a minimum n some of her travel journals and just seperates the art journaling writing out from the sketches …
Traveling with your Sketchbook Art Classes
She also holds art retreats and sketchbook journal workshops on a variety of topics..mainly focussing on watercolors .
Take a peek at her art journals and travel sketchbooks here …
