Mixed-media Collage on Canvas
An Exuberant Celebration of the Prairie Gardens
for artists of all abilities
July 9/10
10am-2pm
Indulge yourself with a fun, beautiful & creative weekend!
Day one. gelli-printing and watercolour
Inspired by the garden, we gather and create our materials, first working collaboratively to watercolour the tissue paper that will become layers of colour and light and then individually gelli-printing directly from grasses and foliage to make evocative impressions for collage. NO drawing necessary! (Unless you want to, of course!)
Day two. Collage and acrylic on canvas
With all the beautiful sheets of coloured tissue and array of botanical prints ready, today we will play and experiment with compositions and combinations, layering the tissues and prints into your personal interpretations, your visual poems and songs that capture your response to the gardens.
Two days for £120.
Price includes:
All the materials for the gelli printing.
1 A5 Seawhite’s concertina sketchbook
All tissues, glues and mediums
1 20cm x 50 box canvas.
