Whimsical, colorful, & full of character! Join local artist Michelle Hamilton for a fun afternoon learning to create a layered folk art piece on a wood panel, using acrylic paints, paint pens and a few collage elements. Bring a visual muse that inspires you! We will also have some muses available for you to choose from in the studio.
In this class, you will learn to create a textured background on wood panel using acrylic paints and various tools to create texture. From there Michelle will guide you in creating a loose sketch, inspired by your muse, that you will then transfer/ loosely sketch onto your wood panel.
You’ll learn techniques for building up layers of your transferred image with acrylic paints, later adding a few collage papers for visual interest/ pattern. And last, but not least, learn the art of “mark-making” or adding the final details, which Michelle calls “the gingerbread” using tools such as white Gelli Roll Pens, Posca paint pens & acrylic fine-tip paint bottles for “mark-making” & detail.
No experience is needed! All materials you will need are included. Come play, learn and create with us!
