Student Level:
All
Type of Workshop: Project
Prerequisite: None

 
 

This is a one day workshop painting angels. I will be demonstrating a couple of paintings using plaster layered wood panels as the substrate. I will be showing students how to layer plaster, sand, layer more plaster with stencils then painted to create rich and mysterious backgrounds. The different paintings will be collage angel as well as painting a close up portrait with a relief halo created with plaster and palette knives. In addition we will be working with my brand new Fractured Angels stencils I created for StencilGirl to create a more southwestern piece of art using my profile stencil and wings.

I will have a variety of angel images to share with the students that they can use for inspiration ranging from the religious/spiritual down to the angel that has been a bit fractured (which are my favorite). I will have a pinterest board available for students to look at for inspiration as well as they are collecting their images.
