Mixed Media I
An inspiring exploration into the playful world of mixed media painting. This course will give you so many methods and materials as tools – and inspiration- to gently draw out your own style of painting. In my studio classes I find the greatest joy in watching each student’s OWN style emerge and flow, and THAT is the focus of this course! The more go-to tools you have – the easier it becomes to find your self in your work, including:
- building a series of paintings
- creating rich surfaces and backgrounds
- exploration of texture
- downloadable materials
- how to use printmaking techniques in your work
- creative collage and paper making methods
- harnessing composition and design elements in your work
- building confidence through positive exercises
- learning to let go of perfection
- learning to love making an art journal
- transfers, transfers, transfers!
- working intuitively and spontaneously through play
- adding your own photographs to a painting
- being bold in your mark making
