LET ME TELL YOU MORE...For this class, I will be guiding you through plaster painting! You will learn how to create the plaster substrate and prepare it for your painting. With plaster art, it's ALL about creating that antique, textured background for your painting. This class will provide with the background techniques needed to create the plaster substrate. You will be able to use this technique on a multitude of different projects: artwork, journals, interior wood signs to mention only a few.

Here's a description of each of our special projects:Project One-"Something To Crow About"
The first painting will explore the different ways to use plaster in setting up your paintings background. We will examine the difference between a rich, heavy texture with large cracks vs a smoother plaster with tiny cracks and look at when we might want to use them. We will create a mixed media painting using either your own photograph or a copyright free image. What Will You Learn In This Class....Project One

Project Two....."Alive With Color"

Using the basic techniques learned in project One we will create a hard, plaster surface for a new acrylic abstract painting..
We will move from random, impulsive and spontaneous movements of the brushes to a more focused approach of our composition as we edit and design the piece, bringing it to a gorgeous finish. I want to encourage you to explore the idea of using using different colors, patterns and additional techniques that allow you to express your unique personality. What Will You Learn In This Class....Project Two ***A finished 8x10" or larger Abstract Plaster Painting. ***Create our background and finish off our edges. ***How to apply paint to our background using both brushes and/or pallette knife. ***Seal and protect our finished painting. |
