WORKSHOP 3: ETHEREAL MIXED MEDIA ART ON TONED PAPER
Instructor: Georgina Kreutzer
“I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail,” said Abraham Maslow in 1966. This sentiment perfectly outlines why Georgina loves mixing various media as an extremely flexible and advantageous technique for creating art. Knowing how to use a wide array of art-making tools and products is powerful when approaching any kind of challenging subject. It’s also vital for beginning artists to experiment and learn which kinds of media resonate with their own artistic direction. This four-lesson workshop will guide you through Georgina’s techniques in mixed media art using pencils, soft pastels, inks and acrylics, with an aim to leave you confident in finding your own set of preferred skills.
