Raven's Nest Art Retreat - Michael DeMeng's Class

I'm having lots of fun at the Raven's Nest Art Retreat. My first class today was Transparency Collage-assemblage. Learned lots about texture, acrylic paints and other stuff (will need to go back and check out my notes). Michael deMeng is a great teacher and has a fun sense of humor. Here he's demonstrating a pooling technique with acrylic washes and "posing" for me.

I enjoyed applying texture and experimenting with acrylic washes. I didn't get to the assemblage part, but love my box and what I've learned.
