Fodder School 3: May Project

 Fodder School 3: May Project

This month’s lesson, taught by Susanne Randers, is relaxing and uncomplicated with minimal art supplies (so far). I needed that kind of project. I love her introduction:

The first part of each month’s lesson is fodder making. Floral doodles was right up my alley. Loved it!

Next lesson was painting various substrates with Ecoline liquid watercolors. Glad I already had a large stash of those. (Some papers did not accept this medium well.) I decided to use her color palette, as pink, yellow, and green is a palette I have never used before. Guess what? I like it! (Colors shown are much less vibrant than they truly are. The pigment and light fight each other in my camera.)

Now for lots of mark-making with a variety of funky tools . . . skewers, sticks, feathers, straws, bottle caps, kitchen tools, ink droppers, credit cards, markers, etc. 

Final fodder making lesson is making portfolio pages and cover. This calls for spray inks, and I am resisting buying more art supplies. We’ll see if I can find a substitute. 

More doodles . . . 

Coffee filters and inks play nicely together.

Some plain colored papers, watercolor-paper portfolio pages, and happy dots from leftover paint.
