Quilt block paintng

Sharon Roeder taught a class for DHAC today. We took 6" canvas squares and painted a basic shape on with acrylic paints., just to undercoat the canvas and give a guideline. We painted watercolor on tissue and used texturizing techniques to create a "fabric" for our quilts. We layered tissue paper over our shapes. When I was finished, I had to repaint some of the outlines in acrylic for mine, because they'd gotten lost. I think they will look nice hanging together.
Thanks Sharon.
