ARTU 05 A Rainbow of Possibilities

A Rainbow of Possibilities, An Adventure in Color for Altered Books

d

Bernie Berlin

This class was created out of need to use all the art supplies and paper I had bought in the past and never used.. Wasted money!!

In this class I will teach you to Waste NO MORE!! You will learn how to make Fabulous Backgrounds using what you have available for your altered books, with lots of depth, texture & EXTREME Color.

Covered in this class will be dye inks, pigment inks, acrylic paints, glazes, Lumiere paint, gel medium, Dorlands wax, watercolor & pastels.

Topics discussed in this class are:
Giving ugly paper new life
No more sticky pages
Making your own glazes without spending a small fortune
No more muddy colors
Using stamps to create a layer of depth
Gel medium and its many uses
Composition of your artwork
Cheaters backgrounds
To Gesso or not to Gesso
Watercolor & Pastel usage

This class is a process and information oriented class and therefore you will only go home with backgrounds finished in your books.
