Mixed-media textures
£73.00
Sunday workshop 1-day
An in-depth guide to creating mixed-media textures using a wide variety of mixed-media materials and techniques.
Gain the confidence to combine a wide range of traditional and unusual materials with acrylic paint to create tactile relief surfaces.
Suitable for: Adult, absolute-beginners, beginners, improvers, intermediate
Workshop Structure
Students will discover a new rich textural language to use in their mixed-media drawings and paintings that add interest and intrigue. Learn how to create mixed-media relief tactile surfaces using acrylic paints combined with some surprising everyday materials to create artworks that explore a variety of themes – landscape, still life or figurative. All techniques are demonstrated before students have a chance to try it out.
Paint personality
Explore and experiment with different consistencies of acrylic paint learning how it behaves when painted over a variety of surfaces. Students will learn how to create textures using a variety of materials such as acrylics, emulsion, glues, collage, inks, while using techniques such as layering, sgraffito, and additive/subtractive paint application to create stunning looking mixed-media textures.
Focus on relief textures
Texture is a key component of composition, along with colour, tone, shape, etc. and needs to be used in a considered way to be effective. Students will work on creating their own textured artwork on paper, with inspiration from a variety of contemporary artists.
3D relief textures
Learn techniques to create high relief 3D texture techniques using cardboard, moulds, and print methods.
Personally expressive textures
Explore using the techniques learnt over the workshop to create a mixed-media artwork in a style of their own choice. Students have time to explore the use of textures within imaginative landscape, still life or figurative themes.
By the end of the course…
Students will go home with a wealth of ideas and techniques, and the skills to add texture into their mixed-media artwork no matter what style they work in at home – abstract or realist, or somewhere in between.
