Description
Image Transfer will introduce you to range of techniques to transfer your photographs onto a prepared hardboard surface and to incorporate them into your paintings, collage or mixed media artwork. You will discover how to blend, distress and create composite images by hand (as opposed to through a digital process). Artists, photographers and anyone curious about photo-based mixed media will find this workshop of interest. Suitable for all levels. See supply list.
Special Instructions
This online workshop will be held via Zoom. Students will receive a link one week ahead of the start of the workshop.
