Student Level:
All
Type of Workshop: Process in Project form

 

 

 

You will learn how to use paint glazes to create a face among layers of collage. No drawing ability required but helpful. You will learn how to become eco aware by re-purposing common materials that most call waste into collage, thus creating a beautiful painting at very little cost to you. Demonstrations on techniques, and tips on how to create a realistic form among a surface of controlled abstraction. Photos of a simple face image for you to choose from and used to learn how to draw. These techniques can be used not only for portraits, but for painting any image that you choose. Many samples will be available to inspire you.

Kit Fee of $10 payable to Instructor at class time includes:

a painting substrate, non wax food wrap papers, metallic foils, a variety of white, and printed papers, sandpaper, sealing spray, a face image, waxed paper, sponge, and the use of my rubberstamps.
