This 5-week workshop will explore surface treatments for papers within mixed media arts. Complexity in layering, building textures and depth, finding personal imagery that is elevated by this background. Students will learn how to work with paste paper, marbling paper and additional paper techniques to create various surfaces that allow for a build-up of layers. Once the background is created students will be able to finish their paintings exploring creativity freely, developing personal imagery.
