March Mixed Media Madness
In-Person: Adult | Available
This March Mixed Media Madness course is designed to loosen up, put aside perfectionism, and create four different versions of a favorite image/or photo. Each week students will use a different media: charcoal pencil & ink, watercolor & watercolor pencils, oil pastels, and acrylics/collage materials. Experimentation with the different media is encouraged, and by the end of the four week course students will have created a series of four images. Students will create with emotion, gain more confidence, and have so much fun in the process!
