In this hands-on workshop, explore the infinite visual expressions that can be created using Mixed Media.

Mixed media combines contrasting color paints and textures, building interesting structures using layering techniques, acrylic paint, and found objects.  Each student will design and make their composition during the workshop.

Lidia will guide you step-by-step with demonstrations that enable you to create a surprising composition using simple tools and techniques.

You will create a figurative or abstract painting while you enjoy giving the everyday tools a new and creative use. This workshop will enhance the creativity of those who don’t have any artistic background, as well as those seasoned artists who have not yet discovered the amazing world of mixed media.

You should come to class with the following materials:

3 or more canvas, boards or wood panels, medium size (between 12”-20”).

High Flow Acrylic (at least 3 colors in small containers), Regular acrylic paint, any color and brand (please include white).

Bring to class your enthusiasm and willingness to discover your artistic talent!  By the end of the session, you will understand that creativity has no boundaries, and that you have developed your skills to embrace new techniques and to create amazing art.
