Room 208

Beginning

18 and older

You’ll begin this workshop by staining art tissue using a limited palette of transparent acrylic paint, focusing on creating a range of values from very light to very dark. Through experimentation with three different colors you’ll create interesting, subtle textures. Next, shapes will be cut from the tissue, followed by working with the pieces to develop composition and collage. For the final layer you’ll add marks with paint, pens (Micron), inks, and stamps, adding texture and interesting effects. You will have extra sheets of tissue to take home that you can use later in your collages or paintings. No prior artmaking experience required. This is a fun, easy, step-by-step process. All materials are provided. Feel free to bring snacks or a bag lunch to eat while you work.
