Connecticut-based artist Michael Shapcott creates wonderfully colored portraits by starting with graphite underdrawings that are then painted with washes in oil and acrylic. He currently has work at Thinkspace in Culver City through March 24th, and you can buy prints at Society6.
Our iCoat concrete countertop/flooring seminar is done. Sad, I know.
We came away with nine sample boards. Three samples each of countertops, concrete flooring, and metallic illusions epoxy flooring. My head is full of ideas for new samples so prepare yourself for more to come!
As I mentioned in my last post, my first project will be my bathroom’s countertops that currently has green swirl laminate.
It should be a great before and after project!
Take a look at my haul:
It has been two fun days of learning and playing with the my newly found product line called iCoat. Bear with me as I tend to get very excited about new product lines and let my geeky art side shine strong.
I wrote a short post after signing up for the seminar which you can find right here. This product line has a countertop and flooring/wall portion with unlimited options of texture and color combinations.
I’ve been in class for two days now and made nine sample boards – yay!
The first day we covered how to create countertops – truly one of the most fun products that I have ever used. It definitely has the wow factor when applying the colorants and even more so when the epoxy coating goes on and all the colors pop once again.
