White Carvings Part 1
Yesterday Art Clubbers and I started a new series of lessons called “White Carvings”. This is based on a technique I developed inspired by the gorgeous plasterwork carvings of the Alhambra, in Spain.
We started the session exploring a little of the massive fortress through Google Earth:

After the tour, we started to explore the technique, starting from the very beginning, using simple shapes.
There were 61 participants, here is some of their work:
Next week we continue with Part 2, slowly increasing complexity.
Please feel free to share or pin these pictures.
Art Clubbers and I finished the fourth and last part of the White Carvings series, adapting the technique to traditional tangles.
