collage unleashed: the grafitti wall $130

Traci Bautista

Creating with no fear, an edgy style and many layers, this fast-paced workshop will free your art spirit. Combining “fusion dyed” collage, painting & staining paper, monoprints, freestyle lettering and doodling you will create large canvas visual journal paintings layered with black and white images, expressive sumi marks, spray painted letters, symbols, letterforms and written words. Inspired by the juxtaposition of colorful urban graffiti walls and freestyle calligraphy you will unleash your creative ideas as you work big and write large to create multiple layered collages with extreme, vibrant color, texture and raw edges. Learn techniques as described in my upcoming book due out May 2006!
