Creating rich surfaces through layering, distressing and embracing imperfection.
About the course
This course is all about embracing imperfection as we experiment with texture and surface using a wide range of media. It will gently guide you to connect with your materials in new ways and build your confidence in accepting mistakes.
Layering, distressing and sanding back will all play a part in enabling you to create rich surfaces and textures that evoke the patina of time. Working with fabric as well as paper you will learn a range of experimental techniques that can be built into paintings, collage and mixed media work.
By the end of the course you will have a library of textures and techniques that will be able to use as a resource for future making.
This workshop is suitable for all levels of ability and will be of particular interest to those wanting to develop their skills in creating exciting textural surfaces.
