The 1/4 inch thick Ampersand Aquabord that I special ordered for this larger sculpture is thicker by 1/8 inch than the original, smaller version. You can see how beautifully the sample cut. I think I like it even better than the 1/8”. It’ll make a visually stronger edge and give added strength for the longer spans. The test sample of Aquabord’s newly formulated surface took the paint similar to the product I used on the first sculpture. Today I transferred shapes onto the boards for cutting and I hope to get the cutting done this week. This sculpture will be 51” x 36”.
My name is Terri M Wells. Welcome to my blog, “Open Studio” where you will see the art I’m working on, my processes, and the ideas behind them. Since 2005, I’ve been passionate about painting watercolors on location, “plein air”. Some of the watercolors lead to abstract wall sculptures and studio paintings. Periodically I’ll sell small, more affordable, work here. My larger work can be purchased through my website www.terrimwells.com
