DRAWING ON FABRIC | Nothing Between Us

Meet "Nothing Between Us". Here's one of my latest drawings on fabric (I call these fabric paintings) with Derwent colored pencils and ink blocks.  Nothing Between Us is dedicated to my parents and their great marriage. Going on over 45 years, my parents have remained committed to each other and have wrapped themselves in a cocoon of warm, embracing, endearing love.

My Notes
Nothing Between Us is on a 8 x 10 inch piece of treated PFD cotton Kaufman white fabric. I treated the fabric with a combo of 2:1 parts water and textile medium. This helps the dyes bond to the fabric.

For this piece, I primarily used colored pencils of colors navy, cobalt blue, yellow, and green. This work uses a little bit of brush work but not much because I really didn't want any blending.

NEWS | Art on Demand in Philadelphia MOMA

So, I just love Philly's Museum of Art's Art of Demand program.

(http://artondemand.philamuseum.org/)

Through it, you can purchase print reproductions on paper and canvas of some of the great artworks from their collection. You can also get them framed! Costs are not too bad from $25 (16 x 13 inches, $35 (22 x 18 inches) and $85 (3 x 24.25 inches) for paper and canvas.

My favorites are of course, their collection of impressionism and post-impressionism AND their vintage exhibition posters. These are the posters from their past exhibitions! So cool. What caught my eye was the poster from their 1972 Silkscreen exhibition. It's really nice!

Love it! I'll definitely plan to make a purchase. I'll be in Philadelphia for this year's SAQA conference this April and will demonstrate one of my new ventures with fabric painting at MakerSpace. More to come on this soon.
