$185 The focus of this workshop is to sample a variety of acrylic mediums that can enhance your mixed media pieces. I’ll talk about several Gels, Pastes and Grounds; discuss different ways they can used and basically answer the question: WHAT ARE ALL THESE JARS OF STUFF FOR?? For example:
• Using Grounds so you can draw or write on your paintings
• Glass Bead Gel to make reflective areas
• Crackle Paste as a mosaic base
• Creating patterns and texture with Molding Paste
• And so much more…

You’ll try each one and create 9 (suitcase friendly) reference pieces that show how many interesting textures you can create. Together, these samples will help you make tons of mixed media decisions going forward. Feel free to email if you have questions susan.rossiter@yahoo.com
