Welcome Everyone!
Well its a beautful friday here on the coast A little breezy but the sun it out. This weekend promises to be an absolute blast! I will be teaching Altered Vintage postcards both days. First in Santa Cruz and then at the studio on Sunday. Here are the details of both classes:
Saturday February 12th
Class: Altered Vintage postcards
Where: Scrap-it in Santa Cruz
Description: Foreign Vintage post cards with their evocative images make beautiful backgrounds for collage. Plus any old postmark, cancelled stamp or writing already on the postcard just adds to the visual interest. So that all these elements mix together harmoniously we will be softening the outlines with a process called Scumbling. To” scumble” is to add a thin layer of white acrylic gouache and then repaint so that all your added elements will match. The surface takes on the look of a painted fresco but still allows the background elements to be seen. To get used to the acrylic gouache the first hour of class will be a color mixing lesson in which every student will prepare an elementary color wheel to take home for future use.
Items to bring: scissors, any background rubberstamps you might like to use, various small paintbrushes (Make sure to bring a couple of liners), and a number 4 short bristled filbert brush.
If you do not have a filbert brush I will have some available to purchase for a small fee of $4.00 per brush.
Time: 11:00 to 4:00 Lunch break at 1:00
Fee: $55.00 + $4.00 for filbert brush
