Unleash your creativity as you explore the use of both visual and physical textures in mixed media painting. You will make 5 different types of textured papers that can be used as collage elements in your painting. Susan will guide you through a series of stress-free techniques to use the textures creatively.

You may elect to work in an expressive realistic or abstracted manner. Susan will demonstrate and help you individually. You will use collage as a design element to create a slightly textured finish in your painting. Two examples of the type of painting you can create in this workshop are shown here.

 

During the workshop, Susan will encourage you to work quickly. This will prevent over working and will preserve the freshness in your painting that only you can create.

After this class, you will never look at a flip flop the same way again. So, register to find out why. You must prepay the registration fee to secure your seat in class. You will receive a supply list when your register. And there is a small supply fee of $5, to cover a few instructor-provided supplies. Pay this fee on the day of class. This includes items not available in small quantities.

Susan has been painting for many years with a focus on acrylic and mixed media painting. She has won numerous awards in local, state and national juried exhibitions, and is a signature member of the Watercolor Society of NC.

Her work is frequently on display in area galleries and proudly hangs in both private and corporate collections. Susan currently teaches group classes
