A very quick fire, spontaneous and fun workshop, this requires no particular drawing or painting skills, just a “willing to have a go” attitude. In response to your own inspiration, the morning will be spent creating a collage background which will be drawn and painted on to, then the afternoon will be spent relaxing with needle and thread.
Requirements
- A selection of papers eg. brown, handmade, cartridge, tissue, old book page, music, patterns, graph paper
- A selection of neutrals eg. calico, cotton organdie. Scraps of something with a previous life -table linen, handkerchief, scarf. Or scraps left from a previous project.
- Inspiration - A selection of your own photos, sketches, and objects which relate to your chosen subject.
- Small pot white emulsion or gesso. (Other light colours will do)
- Drawing equipment - a range of pencils and coloured pencils, eraser, ruler, sharpener
- PVA glue
- Scissors
- Acrylic paint - a few colours relating to your images. Water pot, small palette, an old credit card or similar
- Small set of water colours, bottle of ink and brushes
- Small selection of threads relating to colours from your design source. And basic sewing kit.
- Plastic to cover table and an apron may be useful.
