Fresco class 2008

This was a bonzai tree done a while ago, there's a post showing how Julie made it in her 3D design class - now onto the Frescos!

A little hard to see - after the Fresco class - they had an art exhibition - The Budha in the center was selected for exhibition here
This one of Julie's earlier works - it turned out really well. So well in fact that an art teacher offered to buy it off her. Before she could make a decision on selling - the University President saw it and offered to buy it - he's evidently having a new house built and wants it for part of the decor. One of the ironies of all of this is that Julie didn't have the pre-requisites to actually register for the class, but the professor liked her work so much in the drawing class she took from him last year that he invited to just kind of attend anyway.
This is a 2'x4' large Fresco. It's kind of self portrait of Julie spinning fiber into yarn. It's hard to see from this picture but she's made herself look a bit oriental too. Only four students from the class had their large piece shown in the exhibit.

After the class concluded, Julie continued to go back and paint. This is a buffalo she did.

Julie has also experimented with doing portraits of Sonora and Katie.


Julie enjoys the Fresco medium - yesterday she drove off 100 miles to buy a special kind of lime (100 lbs worth) . I have a feeling we're not done with frescos quite yet.
