I've tried the Clayboard using Karen Vernon's video, but didn't like the results. I washed it all off, but haven't tried again. Are there any other instructional materials out there other than the video? I've been looking, but haven't found any. | ||

Have any of you tried this? If yes, what did you think of it? I've watched Karen Vernon's video and used it myself a few times. I'd like to hear what others think of it. | ||

Hi Roan, I've only played around with one little 11x14 board, but I think this stuff might have possibilities! Did you get a lot out of Karen Vernon's video? I've thought about buying it, but have been too miserly to spend the money. Did you notice any of the "texture particles" coming away when you lifted off color? That happened to me a bit. Maybe I scrubbed a bit too hard. Nice of Cheap Joe's to have this area for us, don't you think? | ||

I took a W/C on textured Clayboard workshop not long ago. The teacher (Marci Boone) has studied with Karen Vernon and won a "Best Floral" in LSAG (Houston, Tx. area) show earlier this year. I'm still experimenting with it so can't say yet how much I'll use it. It can produce some striking effects so it all depends on what you're trying to achieve. This is great to have a forum. Tnx CJ's esg@lcc.net | ||

Hello .. as a newcomer to this site I wanted to look at the postings in hopes of finding more info. regarding the textured clayboard. Roan... (glad to see you here!)..have you had any luck with it yet? I didn't get that video either and wish I could find a step by step demo online. : ) Carol aka oleCC | ||

I tried an 11x14 board, after reviewing KV's video. It seemed to work out well, and I will be using more. Not having to use glass to frame is a plus. | ||

I watched Karen Vernon's vidio last night! The other BIG savings is that the clay boards come in standard sizes, unlike w.c. paper. I have bought clay boards at every AMM show that I have gone to for years and never tried one yet. I love supplies! This time I figured I may try it if I had a vidio. | ||

Peggi- I had a conversation with one of my teachers about loving to buy art supplies. Do you like my teacher and me line new tubes of paint, brushes, etc. up and look at them? I have a bunch of supplies that I have yet to try. I think it is a little bit of fear. Kind of like the fear of a clean sheet of paper. It also takes less effort to buy supplies than to use them. I always feel so artsy when I am buying supplies. I really love supplies. I have never bought clay board before though. I guess I don't know enough about them for them to catch my eye and look interesting. | ||

Dear Emily, sorry for this long delay, I don't go online alot. I love my art supplies. I like to look at them touch them and move them around. I also like to organize them into different catagories. I figure it is a harmless and fairly cheap compulsion as things go!!!!I must have well over 100 tubes of w/c paint and still buying! It is a joke in my wc class because I will always have any color that anyone is looking for. I love to share my paint because that way it gets used ( how much wc paint can one person use!) I did do a great thing though. I took 140lb paper and cut it into strips about 5"x9" long. I put all my paint into color groups and out a dot of paint from the tube on the paper then pulled down the color with water to a glaze stage. Above each dot I wrote the color and BRAND, as each brand is a little different. Now when I am looking for a blue, lets say, I just pull my blue card and I can see just what I need. It has been a fabulous benefit to finding just the right shade my whole class ( there are 5 of us that paint together each week) uses my sheets. All my reds are together( although on 4 sheets!) blues , Yellow Ochers, yellows etc. Hope this was a good tip for all of you. | ||

I may have to do that as my paints expand. I did something similar with different drawing materials (vine char, compressed charcol, pens, pencils, conte' crayons, graphite sticks, charcol pencils, char-kol,etc.) I did grayscales and textures. Eraser are something else I have a ton of. Kneedable, magic rub, m.r. in pencil form, art gum, pick pearl, a neat one that is shaped like a disk (). My art box for drawing class is the becoming the class joke. I have a chamie (sp?) that I think everyone has cut a piece off of. Everyone knows if we need something I have it and a couple of extras. Watercolor is still fairly new to me so my wc paint collection hasn't gotten that large yet, but I'm sure it will over time. It is always nice to hear from someone that enjoys the same things. |
