Create a Dimensional Canvas - Mixed Media Art Workshop

We will create a 3 dimensional piece of art on a square canvas using personal items you bring from home and a limited palette. It is a great class for beginners or experienced artists that will allow you to put your soul into your art.

Supplies you need to bring: - 3 tubes of acrylic paint (at least 2 oz each, one white, one warm (i.e. red, orange, magenta), one cool, (i.e. blue, purple, teal) - 2 brushes (one approximately 1/2" wide, one approximately 1" wide)

Optional: (I will have these available, but it can make a more meaningful piece if you bring something special to you) - a copy of a favorite poem - 3 small copies of photographs of people or places that you love - not your original photos, but a scanned copy printed on regular copy paper - preferably printed as black and white, or sepia toned - (email me your photos if you cannot do this yourself) ("small" means 2-4 inches) - a piece of loosely woven fabric from an old scarf, blanket or shirt, (no more than 1" x 8" will be needed) - 3 small twigs from a well-loved tree, shrub, plant in your yard, (they should not be thicker than a pencil and about 6-8"long - you need to be able to bend them slightly without breaking) - 1 feather - an open mind

I will bring the rest - I promise a fun and interesting afternoon.

In addition to some new mixed media techniques and a unique piece of art, you will also take away a few ideas to create a piece of art for someone you love.
