I work with artists in numerous ways to fit their schedules and needs; Choose a few hours, a few days and or monthly meetings –as schedules allow.
This year, I created more exhibitions for artists working with me, One on One, developing their body of work, exhibiting several pieces each in gorgeous spaces. It's a great way to have more visibility and to learn the inner workings of preparing for a show. See pics from the One on One exhibitions 2022 and 2023 here and a listing on the site here.
One on One session options and pricing below – I look forward to working with you! Be in touch: bonny@bonnyleibowitz.com or 214-405-5993
Monotypes are an original printmaking process of laying down your paint, in this case on a heated surface with encaustic paint, and then gently laying the paper down to pick up the beautiful image. You can then work back into it with more layers of encaustic paint, watercolors and or inks. You can also cut or tear the paper to collage into other works. This is so much fun - a loose and freeing process. No encaustic painting experience required, let just go for it!

Interested in creating your personal color palette? This can happen in oils, acrylics or encaustic but here I'm showing some encaustic colors mixed from a variety of mixed encaustic paints and added powdered pigments then poured into a silicone bake pans for easy release. These can now be used for monotypes or painting on boards. Such a great exploration in personalizing your work with nuanced colors.
Enjoy the beauty, fun and versatility in working with Tyvek. We'll be ironing, inking and optionally using acrylics as well, then thinking about ways to attach and build forms. The color and form possibilities are endless .. let's see where your color palette takes you!
