Wed 23rd March 10am - 12pm
(UK timings)
This popular LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for beginners and those with some experience of working in mixed media.
Workshop details
Using simplification, mark-making and a loose impressionistic approach, we will learn how to tackle the busy subject of a harbour and make it manageable! We will combine collage, acrylic painting and linework to create multi-layered images in this fun and informal workshop.
We will create a collaged ground using text, tissue and patterned papers as the starting point for our image. We will then work over this with layers of acrylic paint - spattering, dripping, and scraping to create a loose impression of a harbour scene, adding more collage elements as we need them.
Further layers of paint, simple ways to depict boats and adding detail and linework with pen, ink and pastel make the whole image come alive. A fun mixed media approach suitable for beginners and anyone wanting to work in a free and forgiving way….if you don’t like a bit just cover it up with more collage
You needn't have the materials ready whilst watching the live demonstration – the demo session is a time to watch, ask and learn. After the demo you will be sent a link to the recording, which you can watch as many times as you wish for thirty days.
Specific skills you will learn at the workshop
