We had our first Mixed Media class
this week at Linden Ponds as part of their
Life Long Learning program.
We experimented with watercolors, pencils,
markers, colored pencils, and ink.
Here’s my quick demo.
I suggested they start with a light wash of watercolor,
then, when dry lightly draw their design in pencil.
Then color in the shapes with thicker
paint, marker, and/or colored pencil.
And finish by outlining everything with
a thin black line.
Here are a few samples of the work done:
This gal brought all kinds of dried items from the woods and just went to town. (wow)
This was done from an image on her phone.
This woman said she was thinking about
a grape arbor by the ocean.
This brave woman is visually and hearing impaired
and her work continually amazes me!
This woman has a tree in her apartment
that she decorates for all occasions year round.
She has a collection of antigue painted eggs that she
wants to show off so she is going to have a party
and use this for the invitation!
I am always so amazed and excited
to see what happens when people
come together to create!
