Summer Retreat at Artelier!
Looking for a creative getaway not far from home? Why not spend a week at Artelier exploring and experimenting with a diverse range of materials?
Day 1: Collage with Paper and Paint
No experience is necessary to create this whimsical and abstract painting. We will start off painting the background and then adding collaged floral aspects. We will also embellish the floral areas as well as creating some added interest to the foliage.
Day 2: Using Lace to Create Texture
At the end of day 1 we will apply the gel to the canvas for it to dry overnight. I will demonstrate how to apply gel under lace or create texture with gel on top of lace and lift it. Once dry, the next day we will start to apply paint to bring out the pattern of the lace. It can be as simple or intricate as you like. A bold and beautiful piece that gives a fiesta-like vibe.
