In this hands-on workshop, explore the fusion of black and white portrait photography with acrylic painting to create a mixed media artwork. You’ll begin with your own printed black and white portrait (emailed to me in advance and printed onto mulberry paper), then learn how to integrate it into a canvas using acrylics, texture, and creative layering techniques. I will also have ribbons, glitter and other fun odds and ends to embed into your image.
Although all materials are supplied, you are encouraged to bring lace, string, yarn, watercolors or other things to personalize your image.
We’ll walk through a live demo together, and you’ll have time to create your own unique piece. All materials — including paint, canvas (8″x12″), and your printed image are provided. No painting experience required, just a spirit of exploration and play. Please find a photo that you would like to embellish and make sure you email it to me at Alidrew@gmail.com at least 2 days before the workshop. The best photos for this technique have a lot of contrast, meaning more dark and light and less gray.
