After a long slumber, I awoke to make a painting :) You won't believe how long I had this idea in my head. I have thought it over so many times. But I think my inertia becomes too strong at times. And it takes me months, or years sometime, to overcome it and jump into action. Well, better late than never!
My original idea was slightly different but here'e what it turned out to be. But that's art for me.....enjoying the process and being pleasantly surprised by the outcome :)
Its actually a set of 4 canvases each an 18" square. I intend to hang them up on the wall above my off-white sofa with colorful cushions. Do you think it'll look good there?
Did I mention I took a basic course in clay modeling and the wheel? It was a 10 session course at Clay Station and was good fun. More about Clay Station in a separate post. The course covered hand building techniques and some basics of throwing on the wheel. Since a child, I was always fascinated by the Potter's wheel. I was excited to see how a rotating wheel and a skilled pair of hands could mold and shape the lump of clay into beautiful art pieces.
Well the course focused more on hand building as the time wasn't enough to take us anywhere close to even an amateur level on the wheel. But I did get a feel of the wheel and learnt to almost center the clay lump and give it a basic shape.
So, here are some of the stuff I made during the class using the various techniques taught.
I'm linking this to Paint Party Friday. I haven't participating in this fun party for quite sometime now. This week I have something to take with me to the party and share with all the talented artists there.
