A mixed media approach to Still life
This workshop explores floral images through a mixed media approach. During the day, we will be experimenting with a range of different techniques.
Mixed Media Processes
Stick and Ink
This technique encourages spontaneity , and teaches you not to be precious about your work. We will be using permanent ink on paper.
Brush and Dyes
We will use this technique to experiment with producing very free and fluid floral images, encouraging the artist to work into the images to add more depth and detail.
Wax Resist
This method will add texture and light to an experimental piece when used along with dyes and bleach.
Tissue and Bleach
We will experiment with a variety of different coloured tissue papers. Bleach and ink will be used to create your image.
Having spent the morning experimenting with these processes we will use some of these techniques to produce our final piece of work.
