Experiments in Mixed Media
4 day workshop
This
workshop will feature a series of projects, one per day, in which we will
explore different mixed media techniques Carol uses in her paintings. We’ll be
doing some wild and crazy stuff that is SURE to ruffle your muse and stretch
you as an artist. Students can expect to complete one or more paintings per
day.
Carol’s
approach to mixed media works for both realism and abstraction. You will learn
about a variety of materials and techniques such as use and preparation of
tyvek, metals and metal foils, rusted iron paint, repurposing old paintings,
making your own unique collage papers, and some inexpensive substitutes for
high priced art materials.
Carol
will also discuss abstract composition and color theory, various kinds of
supports, how to attach various collage elements, and presentation options for
a finished piece.
This is a tentative list of topics/techniques to be explored:
Day 1 -
effortless abstracts using foam plate paintings mounted on textured MDF or
gessobord.
Day 2 -
geologic abstracts with metals and mixed media including tyvek and foils.
Day 3 -
mixed media abstracted tree paintings.
Day 4 -
making your own altered papers and torn paper collage.
The
first two days you will create nonrepresentational abstract work.
The last
two days are more representational, but with a mixed media approach.
