Collage, Stitch and watercolour
This is a very full mixed media experience of a workshop ... you don't need any previous experience to enjoy this but it is a fun one that does allow you to further your watercolour experience or expand your printing prowess and to bring textiles into your art. . . ​
STEP ONE :
We begin by printing a selection of interesting papers ,using flowers, grasses, and texture blocks using a deliciously squidgy gel plate. We will be printing onto different weights of paper, wet strength tracing paper, leaves of a book and printer paper. We will be adding detail and layers to these papers by using stencils and stamps.
STEP TWO:
​
These we let dry and we move onto creating some abstract watercolour backgrounds of differing sizes from small postcard sizes to a larger A 5 geossed fabric background ​​​​​​​​.
STEP THREE:
​
And now we have some fun with the backgrounds and papers we've made. We can use the backgrounds as abstract doodles playing with colour and adding watercolour glazes ,acrylic pens and with some we can make them into small paintings using the paper we made and collaging them onto them.
We can add stitching to our paintings should we want to add another layer of detail with both machine and hand stitching.
This workshop is for 4 hours and you will leave with a number of finished painting/collages and envelopes alongside a selection of backgrounds and sheets of collage paper which you use to make your own cards later on... It's an addictive art medium ....you can just keep adding layer upon layer to a watercolour background . Just knowing when to stop is probably more the issue !
