Surface Treatment Workshop examples

Garden Path 10x10

Sandra Duran Wilson

This painting uses several of the techniques from our new book, Surface Treatment Workshop. The lower portion started with a transfer and then I did acrylic pours over that. The top had painted gampi tissue overlayed on top of the background painting. Some collage finished it off with a satin varnish to give it a waxy look.

She Gambled It All for Love

This 24" x 24" piece has a very large gel transfer, water slide decal, stained glass insert, vintage playing card, collage, and pearls. In addition, there are various techniques from the new book, Surface Treatment Workshop, such as crackle, alcohol and Elmer's glue.

The Book is Shipping!!!

Surface Treatment Workshop  finally is no longer a pre-order item on Amazon but actually in people's hands. Sandra and I are both thrilled about the finished product. It is really is a great for your art arsenal.

It was such a pleasure to do all those projects and really push ourselves when we did the variations.

You probably noticed that are web site is new and combines both books. We were going to do two different web sites but decided it would drive us nuts. There will be updates in the gallery sections in the next several months.

I will be demonstrating transparency transfers with a free hands-on art fest, Friday March 18th from 2-5 at the Inn and Spa at Loretto in downtown Santa Fe, NM. Please stop by and make some art to take home with you. This event is open to all. Pass the word if you know anyone that may be in town.

Imagine all that can be transferred

Imagine 12x10

This painting shows many different transfer techniques: gel medium, paint transfer, gampi tissue, water slide decal and stencils and collage. Can you tell which ones are which, and on what layer? That is the beauty of transfers. They are integrated into the composition.

Dreaming on such a winter's day

After a freezing week, we have now been hit with a heat wave. Oh, Thank heavens. So now I am dreaming about planting, flowers and spring.

This piece, Datura Dreams, 24" x 24", is a mixed media delight of image transfers, stamping, skins, alcohol techniques and some wonderful maroon plaster.
