AVDAT ruins - used to demonstrate new painting technique


Hi everyone,
I am happy to announce that I developed a new method of art and art teaching. This will especially help people with dysgraphia enjoy painting, but even senior citizens, or young artists. You know that artists will take a complicated to draw photo and project it on a wall or canvas and trace it in black charcoal pencil, then paint over it. Other artists use mixed media water colors as a base paint then paint over it with pastels allowing some of the water color to show through leaving a luminous effect. Well what I did was print a color photograph on pastel paper in my printer and then with pastels pencil or stick paint over the photo. The end product is a beautiful original painting with some color of the photo showing through as if it was a pastel painting with water color showing through. The combined easy to paint without learning to draw effect is just beautiful.


Below is a painting of the Nabatean city of Advat , the same view of the photo on the delicious Israeli wine ADVAT.
