Mixed Media Workshop- with Robyn Eastgate-Manning
$74.00 - $87.00
9:30 am to 4:30 pm
One day- 6 hour workshop (1 hour for lunch)
Have you ever wanted to paint an abstract painting confidently, with lots of interesting marks and texture? Something that makes people wonder, "How did you do that?! Do you want to be able to integrate collage into your work seamlessly? Make bold marks that look exciting? Achieve depth with layers?
We will explore the above, including mixing colors and creating harmonious paintings with multiple layers and interesting surfaces. These may then suggest a certain subject matter. Choose to bring out the subject suggested or continue with an abstract theme. This could be the start of a new journey in art that excites and inspires you to continue in a new way.
