January Workshop
Layers and Glazes
Using acrylic paint and collaged tissue papers, we will create a beautiful nature-inspired piece of art.
We will begin by creating a base painting with acrylic paint. We will then work with tissue paper layers to create depth and interest. You will learn about collage, stamping, glazing, dripping and layering techniques. At the end, we will embellish the piece with metallic flakes and hand-made papers.
