Class learns to make art with just about anything
CRANBERRY TWP — Art can take many forms, and the tools to make art can be just as varied.
That’s the lesson participants in a class learned last week as the Cranberry Public Library, 2525 Rochester Road, hosted local artist Sal Greco.
Greco demonstrated his distinctive “brushless” painting technique for the class in The Forge, Cranberry Public Library’s makerspace.
Instead of brushes, participants were asked to bring several household items to paint with. Participants brought a variety of items, including Q-tips, toothpicks, feathers, toothbrushes and light bulbs. Greco employs a self-taught technique for his paintings in which he uses household items to give his paintings a unique texture.
Each participant received a 3.5-inch by 5.5-inch piece of wood to paint on.
