WYATT'S
BRUSHES
Wyatt stumbled upon her own unique application of oil to stretched canvas using small canvas pieces as brushes. This approach began in the early 90's where she wanted the smooth effect of airbrush without its technicalities as she began to wipe oil onto her canvases. She tears 2" square canvas pieces, folds each to form triangular corners, dips them in turpenoid & oil paint, then wipes and mixes the paint directly on the painting surface.
The corners of the fold are used to form the small areas of facial features, as the flat portion spreads the paint throughout the body, and background.
These 2" pieces are dried forming a natural 3-D effect, and then individually hand stitched onto stretched bars collectively creating textured collages titled WYATT'S BRUSHES. It takes the completion of several original paintings to accumulate enough 2" pieces to form one sizable collage each titled and consecutively numbered.
