Pictures from the painting class in Maine 09-29-16

I'm not sure if I posted these images previously because I was too rushed to mark the thumbnails.  So, maybe this is a repeat.  These are all the work of the teacher, Elizabeth Busch; examples of some possibilities of using the ProChem transparent paints. 
 
Applied paint to canvas and scraped with toothed tool.  Also chalk pastels to make fine dark lines.

Chalk pastels applied to wet Trigger cloth.

Top: Opaque paint applied to black Trigger cloth and scraped with plastic tool.
Bottom:  Paint applied with scraper and brush then scraped with plastic tools.

Paint applied in layers with drying in between.  Vertical stripes made with masking tape.  Yellow created with very thin masking tape and adhesive dots.   

Using various masking tapes and Contact paper masks and plastic scrapers.  On bottom left corner using a manila folder cut with curved "teeth" - moving it down and applying more paint.

On the top is a finished and quilted piece with faced edges.

Applying paint with scraper then using toothed scrapper to make lines.

Here we are getting to work.  We each brought five pictures of work we have done in the past and hung them all at the top of our very high design boards.
The paints in the foreground are in the little cups we used to mix the paint concentrate with the thick medium - either transparent or opaque.
Almost everyone in this class had at least one previous class with Elizabeth.

Sensational pieces of art. I do hope I can clear my life's time to try this project and gather the supplies. I note you mentioned the paint used and I'm sure Dhama can supply that....other things I already have in my alternate stash! Thank you.

I love this work and I would very much enjoy taking this class!

What is trigger cloth? Perhaps a canvas like fabric? Has it a special surface texture? Is is all cotton? A mixture of cotton and poly? Perhaps Dharma also has this.
