CLASS LINEUP

Lesson 1: Stylized Jupiter/Planet: Anything But White Paper!

An introduction to mixed media on toned paper: let’s focus on the power of a good color palette and some satisfying application techniques! We’ll learn more about complimentary colors throughout this lesson as we layer a range of media types to complete a stylized planet drawing.

 

Lesson 2: Art Nouveau Skeleton Key

Creating drawings that look 3D with 2D mixed media: This workshop is about layering and media application. We’ll start with simple geometries and templates, and navigate the various application techniques for each of the media we’ll be using.

 

Lesson 3: Art Nouveau Patina Lock

Using mixed media for textured, lifelike drawings. Mixed Media artists typically work in deliberate layers. Picture the process like a funnel – larger, nebulous blocks of color first, refining down to smaller details. This approach reduces a seemingly daunting task into an enjoyable, progressive flow.

 

Lesson 4: Stylized Watercolor Portraits

Using mixed media to create landscapes with depth and texture: don’t be afraid to experiment with your layering - dry media on dry, wet on dry, wet on wet. The larger the variety of media in your arsenal, the more ways to approach the challenge at hand.
