Today was the beginning of a five day workshop at Hacienda Mosaico with Jesse Reno. This walled compound is identified by brilliant mosaic displays on the outside and even more amazing creations in the tropical garden courtyard.
We spent the better part of four hours applying acrylic paint onto large pieces of gessoed canvas....with our hands! It is not an easy transition from brush to hand application! It feels like a total loss of control, which is Jesse's goal with his process of applying layer over layer of colour and texture.

I am hopeful that these three preliminary "messterpieces" will evolve into something!
