Mixed media substrate and layers

3.5 hour class-All supplies included $75

· Use of different substrates such as fabric, cradle boards, canvas, papers, aqua board, etc.

· Gels and mediums to create interesting layers

· Pumice, molding paste, glass beads and crackle paste to create interest

· Bleeding tissue and rice paper for subtle watercolor effects

We will be adding paint and other mediums to start the layering process. Each student will have time to work on the substrate of their choice towards the end of class.

I’m excited to offer the following classes for beginners to advanced painters. Class sizes are limited to six students and will encourage exploration of mixed media supplies and techniques. My classes focus on layering, texture, movement, and openness to experimenting with mixing your art supplies to create incredible results.

Classes are structured for learning techniques and concepts that will give you the freedom to move forward in pursuing your own art. This is not a structured “wine and paint” style class, but a class that will give you foundational elements for creating your personal style. Classes include technique demonstrations as well as independent working time for you.

All supplies including top quality paints and substrates are provided in the cost below.

I invite you to join me in my studio on five acres of natural beauty in the foothills of Washougal, WA.

For all classes please bring rubber gloves to protect your hands if desired. Wear old clothes and

bring a lunch and beverage (refrigerator and microwave are available in the studio).
