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

We will create a mix media Folk art girl. Students will be guided to create their own Folk art girl with their own theme. They will learn how to work with colored pencils and can choose to draw their own faces or use one of several templates I will provide. This will help them to create a cute fun Folk art gal!

Instructor Provided (for use in-class, and to share):

• Wood to paint on
• Template for faces
• I will also include the templates with my hand-outs so you can practice at home, or even copy them for future use.

Student should bring:

• Gesso & Gel Medium
• Pencil and good eraser
• Old book pages, scrapbook papers, maps, themed papers (if you want a Christmas Angel bring things that relate to that) tissue paper any other things you would like to collage with. You can also bring stamps, or stencils if you like.
• Colored Pencils needed must be Prisma. Prisma pencils have a waxed finish on the faces that allow you to blend and move the color around. Light peach, Peach, Yellow Ochre, Bronze, Burnt Ochre, Pink, Warm gray, Bleu-vert pale, and WHITE. You need the white to blend with. (You can bring any other colors you want but these will be more than enough to create a beautiful face)
• Charcoal Pencil
• Black and White Gel pens (I personally use Signo um 153-they write on anything)
• Craft Acrylics-White, and any assortment of colors you might like to work with. I also recommend one tube of full bodied Payne's Gray
• Brushes-One or two small fine for detail work, 2-3 medium size flat, and one larger for washes
• Small travel-size wet wipes to remove paint
• Small scissors
• Heat-gun if you have room in your luggage. This just helps speed up the drying.
