Hi Stephany, Thanks for getting back to me right away. I will let you know how things go. Hope you're doing well...I assume you are an ISS "regular" and are going at the end of this month. I got so much out of it last year. Not returning this year...but maybe at another time. Thanks again, Bill
Hi Stephany...I don't know if you remember me or not from ISS last year, but I have a technical "challenge" and thought you might have some advice for me. I'm working with Arches 140 lb paper that comes in 10 yd rolls. I'd like to staple (?) a five foot length of it to an interior door and paint large. I tried soaking the paper first, then stapling it, but it pulled away from the staples when it dried and buckled. Any ideas on how to deal with this? - Bill
Hi, gang. Please check this out... on the Forum tab there is a new Critique Group just for ISS group members. Here's your chance to get informed comments on works you select from others who have been part of the Intensive Studies Seminar.
Steph, I am creating an ISS Critique group under the Groups tab. You all should be able to add new art in your regular method, then broadcast to the whole Critique Group the name of the pieces on which you wish comment / critique. You could also establish your own parameters to get the information from others that tells you what you want to know.
I see you guys are interested in good critiques. So I was thinking about starting a Critique Group on this site, like the ISS group, but for anybody who is interested in good crits of their work by fellow artists on this site. I think there would have to be ground rules established. If we start such a group, should it be just within the ISS contingent, or should we open it up? Would you both be interested in working together to establish good ground rules for the group?
Hey, Stephany! Great to see you work here. Thanks for joining us. Your paintings look so good on the computer screen. Hope all is well with you guys and that you are having a good, creative summer.
