About this Event

What I love about mixed media is that anything goes, you’re not just limited to paint. Sometimes it’s one little area that draws you in and makes the whole piece come together. In this workshop we will be making unique collage elements in the morning and creating collage assemblages in the afternoon. All Levels welcome.

You’ll have enough papers, skins and elements to use in class and take home to incorporate into your art practice later.

I make papers, skins and collage elements when I’m short on time or energy. This process often generates inspiration and great daydreams about the next project. It’s also nice to have a drawer full of special papers you can source from when your paintings need a little something or you need to make a quick thank you card.

Workshop fee includes an interesting pack of handmade and found paper samples and collage elements for inspiration, an Ampersand Gessobord panel, use of GOLDEN paints and Silver Brushes, use of shared GOLDEN Gels, Pastes and Aggregates.

• We’ll make and talk about the process of using Gels, Pastes and Aggregates to create skins for collaging or adding to your paintings

• I’ll show examples of non-traditional collage papers and where to find them

• We’ll hand paint paper using different brushes to get interesting effects

• Make papers

• I’ll demonstrate many techniques and walk the room to answer any questions and check in with you

• I’ll show how skins can be added to paintings to add texture or a focal point

• In the afternoon, we’ll create collages with our papers, talk about composition and how to get a successful collage

• Then we’ll pack our papers carefully to take home so they don’t stick to each other.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR CLASS:

• Watercolor papers or pad, sketchbook or art journal for collages

• GOLDEN acrylic colors in Heavy Body, Fluid and High Flow (bring your acrylic set)

• Silver Brush assortment (bring your favorite brushes)

• GOLDEN Soft Gel Matte

• Palette knife

• Folder or tote to take your papers home
