Mixed-Media/Collage Book

 

Join me in this workshop where you WILL get your hands dirty as you learn start-to-finish how to create layered mixed-media/collage books in a signature donna downey style. Explore techniques for creating embedded backgrounds, building a mixed-media color palette (using acrylic paints, oil pastels & india ink), adding dimensional design and texture, blending fabrics, papers, images and a simple bit of bookbinding to create a unique book from scratch giving your finished piece a uniform look.

This workshop also provides you with your own basic tool kit to get you started working in mixed-media and collage.

workshop 11 by Donna Downey stencil art

"Paint like an artist"

Do you sometimes look at a blank canvas and think, “where do I start?” Have you ever wanted to know how

Artists get so many layers of color and texture to emerge through their work? Do you wish someone would

just walk you step-by-step through creating a finished piece start to finish?

Look no more, no painting or drawing skills needed for this workshop because we are going to use stencils

and LOTS OF THEM! Using your acrylic paints, I will show you how to create your own custom spray paints

and precision tip paint pens giving you a fun new repertoire of options for appling your color to your

canvas. I will also show you how to use color and texture to create visual depth as we build a background

for our art. Then, help you isolate pieces of your background designs to use as you build your design in the

foreground.

You will be amazed what emerges from the chaos and shocked at just how fun and easy it is to “

Paint likean Artist”.

workshop 20 by Anna Dabrowska - book & pages

Nog 5 plaatsen vrij!!!

 

"Grungy Spell Book" - 

 

 

Mixed media class (with creating heavy texture, spraying, shading, using gels, metallic paints...and more!)

Journals are not only about pages – altering the cover of the book is an important part of the creative process, making the frame, closing (or opening?) the composition. Cover should reflect the owners emotions and personality as well as the book's content – which is a great reason to try some inspiring techniques and create something unique, magical and 100% fun.

During this class I'll tell you about my ideas for journaling, and share my ideas how to alter a raw journal to get appealing and durable mixed media cover based on a bunch of my favorite techniques such as creating texture with gels and stencils, grungy embellishments and found objects, painting and spraying. I'll show you different effect you can get using media such as pigments, acrylic paint and common soft pencils together with multipurpose glues or varnish.

After the class you will have your own art journal which will reflect your taste and a big dose of inspiration: I'll do my best to share my experience, give tips and I'll try to convince you to leave traditional, conventional thinking and go more bold and artsy. It is possible you will be surprised what you can do with medias and tools which you already have in your kit or at home!

 and complementary journaling class:

"Spell Book Pages"

mixed-media techniques for journalers and scrapbookers!

During this full-lenght class I'll share with you some of my journal projects and a bunch of my favorite techniques based on using masks, stamps, embossing and layering. 
Together we will create different texturized background gathering information about using such mediums as heavy gel, gesso, pigments, sprays and embossing powder. We will focus on techniques useful both for journalers and scrapbookers tips and non-conventional ideas such as using thread or tea builiding 3 double, technique-packed pages- all with a touch of grungy, artsy style. 
This class is one big creative, messy fun! You may be surprised what you can do with the supplies you probably already know... or you never thought about before... Let yourself play and think outside the box – why not?
