    The instructor has carefully timed this workshop for 5.5 hours, with a half hour break at noon. A material list is in a separate document. Instructions for trace transferring the photo reference on the watercolour paper will be sent two weeks before the workshop starts. Students will bring the watercolour paper in class with the drawing on the paper ready. Students can also arrive 30 mins before to trace  transfer, with instructor’s assistance. It is recommended that students gather around the instructor during demos, but the instructor will also walk around to check on students’ progress and answer questions.

    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.

    NOVEMBER 23 AND 24, 2024 -   9:30 am to 4:00 pm

    Members:   $140         Non Members;  $180
