“AN ARTISTIC JOURNEY” by Barbara Fox

 

"Many artists are happy and successful focusing on one particular medium or subject-matter. I've never found that for myself, and ventured through flowers, still life, portraits, and landscapes, with watercolors, charcoal, and oil paint. Maybe I will never find the pot of gold, but I am having a wonderful time learning, experimenting, and facing challenges." -Barbara Fox

 

Barbara Fox is recognized for her accomplished realism in a variety of mediums including graphite, charcoal, watercolor and oil paint. Her artwork is exhibited and collected internationally, receiving numerous awards, and has been selected for publication in fine art books and magazines.

Gel Printing with Theresa Heinz

Gel printing is a form of printmaking called mono-printing. To do mono-printing in the past you had to have a press to transfer the paints from the plate to the paper. Now you can use a gel plate, which is a soft silicone plate that allows you create beautiful monotypes without a press!
