Levels: All
Sessions: 1
Instructor: Barbara DePirro
Location: Schack Art Center, Studios 1 and 2
Discover methods of combining paper, fiber, imagery, and acrylic to create inspirational artwork.
In this workshop, you will learn to develop patterns and textures using Acrylic Paints, Mediums, Gels, Grounds, and Pastes. Explore techniques for building surfaces with smooth or textured, transparent or translucent layers. Understand which products are best for drawing media, water media, image transfers, and gluing, while gaining insight into the unique qualities of each product.
Move beyond traditional notions of collage as this workshop expands your vocabulary of methods and approaches, offering new pathways for your individual artwork. This class is open to all levels.
The instructor will demonstrate various techniques and answer questions throughout the workshop. Each artist will create samples of different products, processes, and techniques, documenting each detail to serve as a valuable future reference. A class summary will be provided to support continued independent exploration. All products are graciously provided by Golden Artist Colors.

- pre-cut white mixed media board, mat board, or illustration board (10-12 pieces, range of sizes no smaller than 4”, no larger than 10” )
-Clear plastic sheeting (found in most hardware stores near paint tarps); will be used in the transfer process, underneath especially drippy samples while working, on the floor for additional drying space & at the end of the class to help in transporting wet samples.
