Workshop Description
BOLD COLORFUL FIGURES in mixed media is for all levels of artists, even newbies. In this workshop we will let go of realism and create a mixed media figure painting—no drawing skills required! This is a fun, low-pressure workshop where we will gain mixed media skills while creating colorful figures. We will incorporate acrylic paint, mark–making tools, collage, and found papers to design a bold colorful underpainting, add photos, more collage, stenciling and shiny things to dress up our figure. Annie will share her Basic 7-Step Method, along with exercises, demos, critiques and her very generous individual attention. Come prepared to work hard, have fun and create some beautiful mixed media paintings.
