Adding texture to your art creates layers of interest and can start conversations about the process as well as the end result.
In this session we will talk about ways to add texture from using color or shading to layers of paint or plaster, adding organic materials, fabric, or layers of paper. We will use studio resources to create interesting pieces that art lovers will talk about well after the viewing. This session is for beginners as well as seasoned artists.
About your host:
Leslie Archibald writes poetry, flash fiction, and nonfiction in a tiny home office in Houston, Texas. When she is not writing, you may find her roaming the city photographing Houston’s unique character, dabbling in watercolors, and exploring genre bending and multimedia literature. Leslie began to pursue her interest in visual art in late 2023 and has been studying paint techniques and history to grow her portfolio. In addition to her award-winning flash piece “Sherry Baby” included in the special section of Companion of the Ash released in December 2018, her work may be found in Tales of Texas Vol 2, Synkroniciti Magazine Vol 5 No.4 and Vol 6 No.4, The Best of Interstellar Flight Magazine: Years 2, 3 and 4, and online at Interstellar Flight press magazine. Her poem She Dances in Indigo was chosen for Colorstory2023. Her chapbook Poems for a Broken Marriage Man is forthcoming from Finishing Line Press. Her visual work has been shown at Sabine Street Studios and Hardy and Nance Studios in Houston.
