Course outline: Phototransfer

We will be using images of the flora and fauna around the gardens as well as other photographic illustrations to transfer onto a different back grounds to create beautiful mixed media pieces.

I will introduce you to techniques of transferring photographic images onto varied surfaces.

We will use gesso, acrylic medium and paints, collage, monoprints, found papers and textures to build up semi abstract experiments on paper, wood, slate and canvas.

We will be learning how to create aesthetic compositions, sensitive colour combinations and beautiful pieces that are individual to you.

You may wish to bring in your own photocopiesof photographs to use. You could include photographs of plants or faces that are personal to you. I will have a collection of varied themes to use too. Any images must be photocopies to transfer.
