Art Workshop with Lindsay

In this course, participants will explore a variety of mixed-media approaches to art. Mixed media can unlock a variety of textures, styles, and imaginative avenues. We will discuss combinations of materials that complement one another and how to achieve successful compositions through a range of media. Participants will learn from artists who have mixed-media practices and create compositions of their own.

Students will have the opportunity to work from reference imagery as well as more abstractly. Participants of all skill levels are invited to join. Students are welcome to bring any supplies they would like to experiment with, aside from toxic or disruptive substances (such as oil paints, spray paints, etc.). Supplies are limited.
