Tutor: Karen Carter

(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is suitable for everyone. There will be work-along elements and so we would encourage students to have their materials to hand, ready to participate live during the class.
Workshop details
A fun workshop creating little layered landscapes with collage and mixed media. Gather all your scraps of paper and a basic set of paints and oil pastels and prepare to play!
We will explore different approaches and starting points using found, repurposed and handpainted papers. Cut, stick and layer then add in a splash of paint, a flourish of linework and a smattering of spattering! Work backwards and forwards through the processes – this is a very forgiving way to create an image – until you have produced a series of small samples.
We will be working across several images simultaneously exploring colour, layering and mark-making, allowing for ‘happy accidents’! These can be used as starting points for a bigger piece, sketchbook studies, or be little pieces of art in their own right – a perfect way to experiment with techniques and explore a theme through a mix of serendipity and intention.

Additional Information
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online blackboard. Helpful and easy to use, they enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – just as you would in a classroom environment.
Karen will offer personalised critique / feedback via the blackboard for any work uploaded by students within thirty days of the class ending. You will be sent the link to access your blackboard in the week before your class begins and will have access for at least sixty days after the class ends.
After the live session has finished on Zoom, we will share the link to view the recording on the blackboard. You can watch the recording as many times as you like for sixty days.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment.
