Susan Louise Moyer
May 22-28, 2011
(Five Teaching Days)
Returning for the 2nd year in 2011
The first day is an overview of the the DyeColour™ process which involves making latex treatment and sizing the surface of the silk so that liquid dyes can be applied without the use of a resist. We will set up a palette, learn to mix clean color, and create luminosity through color transitions. During the next three days we will explore how the diversity of the medium gives the artist a smorgasbord of wonderful techniques to use for creative expression. The repertoire of painting techniques demonstrated include: wet-in-wet, dry-in-wet, glazing, washes, hard and soft edges, lifting and adding color, backgrounds, masking, stenciling and wax resist. The fifth day will focus on the steam fixation process, how to remove the latex treatment and a discussion and demonstration on care and presentation ideas for DyeColour™ paintings. If you're interested in creating representational flora and fauna and/or abstract and edgy art, this medium is worth exploring. Susan Louise Moyer is an international known silk painter, leading author and educator who for the past 20 years has been presenting workshops and organizing retreats, throughout the United States. She demonstrates painting on silk techniques and teaches art and design through her medium.

Watercolor artists as well as silk painters will find this workshop to be an exciting departure from tradition and an inspiration for new artistic directions. Working on silk allows the artist to apply, manipulate and pick up color without the worry of destroying the surface. As the inspired artist develops ideas that involve multiple techniques, the potential of this creative medium expands to meet the needs of the artist, allowing the artist to grow.
