What fun it was to have Kay Lybrand in the gallery yesterday painting. It's always fascinating to learn the process an artist goes through from their initial inspiration to the finished painting. Admiring Kay's beautiful work in the gallery comes with a whole new understanding when you see the small gouache studies she does later to be used as reference for her much larger oil paintings. Having not only painted all her life, Kay also knows just about all there is to know about paper as she worked for Strathmore and Crane Paper Companies for many years. From years of creating presentations of beautiful paper, she now creates her own journals for her studies right down to punching the holes in the paper and binding them.......and what a presentation it makes of her gouache studies on Kraft paper. Thanks to Kay for sharing her talents with us this week! More about Kay...
