    WORKSHOP with JOYCE BOYER -    ACRYLICS

    Ever wonder how did they do that?  We are going to dive into the area of Mixed Media. In this workshop  we will be exploring the idea of painting on tissue and applying it to canvas…then let’s go even further.  We will be using glazes and veils to create our piece allowing the painted tissue to come through.  Then let’s go even further into our creation (using the wood substrate) we will be adding more to it to allow our work a 3-D texture .  Bring your own reference material or use the instructors. The possibilities are endless.
