“Spider Webs”

.

There are two methods to this lesson. The first is done using a very sharp knife. The under painting is created using wet-in-wet and LOTS of dark pigment. Once the paper is completely dry, the white for the spider web is “carved” into the darkened surface.

For the second painting the spider web is applied using a painting knife and masking fluid. Once the fluid is dry, large washes are applied. The paper has to be very dry before the fluid is removed.

(The spiders will be in their webs on lesson day)……………………

Brushes: 1” flat, #10 round or any suitable brush of your choice.
