Join our workshop to combine bird imagery with artistic techniques, building textured art with acrylics, stenciling, and layers.
A recurring theme in my artwork is the use of bird imagery. I love their colors, their songs, their beauty in flight…the list goes on and on. You might say I have birds on the brain! As an artist who continually experiments with ways to combine artistic techniques, images and products, I am always excited when a combination just sings to me. Many of the images I collect feature grumpy children and I felt this just set the stage for something like, oh, I don’t know…a bird…to be perched on their head, completely oblivious to the obvious consternation they are causing the child. The children don’t seem to appreciate their feathered crowns, but I know you will!
In this workshop we will be exploring ways to build up texture on your 2D surfaces with acrylic paints and products. Add in some stenciling and shadowing and your image will seem to fly off your surface! Just adding a little extra oomph in these areas can really take your artwork to the next level! Speaking of levels, we will be building up layers of birds and flowers created from inkjet shrink plastic that will result in fabulous headpieces…everyone will want to wear a feathered crown after this workshop! I hope you will join me in playing with these products and I look forward to seeing you in class!
