Window Collage and Painting Workshop
Only a few left!
June 10th 10am-4pm
Instructor: Glenda Goodrich
In this fun and light workshop we will explore true mixed media. Combining paint, papers, stenciling, and Posca pens, we will create pieces ranging from whimsical to serene, from birds to bouquets. Come engage in this critic-free environment that encourages relaxed playful expression. No drawing or collage experience needed. Please note we will break for lunch for about 30-45 minutes.
WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS:
- Fluid Matte (if you want non-shiny) or Gloss (if you want shiny) medium; the best brands are Golden and Liquitex.
- Substrate (backing) for your art which can be: stretched canvas, art board or canvas board; Recommend 12” x 12” or 9” x 12"
- Various papers for collage including some light, medium and dark tones; handmade and scrapbook papers work well, and old sheet music and maps are great.
- Acrylic paints – 5-7 colors that you like, including at least one lighter and one darker tone. A couple of the paints should be transparent fluid acrylics. You can tell they are transparent if the black bars show through the paint example on the label (on the Golden brand).
- Stencils with larger cut-outs that can be easily traced around to create open spaced windows for the collage to show through.
- Small old brushes for spreading the matte or gloss medium.
- Brushes for painting including one wide (1” or so) flat brush and one smaller flat or round and a one very small brush.

This drawing class will focus on constructing a dynamic composition using a minimum number of still life objects. We will use the elements and principles of design to "map" a drawing that leads our eye around and through the objects.

Students will then complete a final drawing ending with a discussion of the work.

Create a luminous painting of Mt Hood using acrylic paints. Class will talk about color unity, color mixing, composition and layering to create depth. Reference photos will be supplied. Bring your painting supplies. Beginners are welcome!
WHAT TO BRING
- Acrylic paint: yellow, red, blue, gray, white (specifically I used: Benzimidazole yellow light, quinacridone crimson, titan green pale, neutral gray, ultramarine blue, titanium white) Substitutions are fine and colors can be mixed from basic red, yellow, blue, gray and white.
- Airbrush medium
- Gloss glazing liquid (doesn't have to be gloss) (I use airbrush medium and gloss glazing liquid instead of water to thin the paint. If you want to use water that is fine.)
- paper plates to use as palettes
- painting surfaces at least 12" x 12" (can be wood, canvas or paper. You might want to put a coat of gesso on paper if that's what you're using.) Bring at least 2 supports.

- water container---we need to put paint water outside and not down the drain. If we can't put it outside you will need a container with a lid to take your paint water home.
- Sketchbook or extra paper to experiment on
- an easel if you prefer to paint that way.
- something to cover the table with to protect it from acrylic paint
