Off the grid and out of the box , Barbara & Joel cut loose...


Woe Barbara's on the grid ! new look at New York...

Out of the cupboard , a box of Barbara's Dad's old glasses ...

We like , going kitch ... first try old method of painting on small squares of paper using water colour ....Nah its way too dull

So get them on one big sheet with marker pens , off the grid , draw outline only , try and keep pen on paper, then swap sides and go again...keeping it random







They're lovin it


One too many  ! FANTASTIC !



Now Joel chooses another classic shape ..the pepperpot  Its another winner !
Quite alot of smirks and giggling at the random shapes produced....Pepper-pot -porn 















Barbara gets Dubuffet out and has a notion to do some background colour

Using soft flowing black lines to use as fill in sections


Joel chooses a blue and Barbara mixes it ...off they go colouring in time




Mmmm  very exciting , definately out of the box and off the grid, time for just one more...

Joel goes for the Espresso pot ... Barbara not sure she's ready for it , but as ever rises to the challenge


Much more angular object so use angular lines for background colour areas




Entering another off the grid zone and lovin it ! Have an idea for an exhibition of this work next spring at Winter's Moon , discuss with Julia and taking Joel over to see the space next week ....http://www.wintersmoon.bigcartel.com/
