Using Watercolors on Claybord

Through examples of her work, Judy Lavoie will explore the differences, advantages, and unique working procedures for using transparent watercolors on both the smooth surface of Claybord and the similar, but slightly textured surface of Aquabord. Judy will also cover the option of using scratchboarding techniques on the white clay surfaces once color is added. Her presentation will show how she approaches this media combination with step by step examples as well as with her finished artwork. Judy will also have samples of Claybord and Aquabord panels, free to any AGTV members who want to try them out.
