Use Creative Collage techniques using torn and cut papers and learn mono print process and other creative ways to prep your surfaces. Students will have a choice to work on either large watercolor papers and/or wooden art panels and will create abstracted acrylic painted backgrounds that include stenciling, and painted elements to create a unified art piece. We will finish our work with encaustic wax, learn ways to add details with oil paint, oil pastels, and add textural elements through sgrafitto techniques and fusing with heat.
