About This Workshop
About This Workshop
Some people have a favorite medium they go back to time and time again. Others like to mix and match, experimenting with different combinations of opacity and texture to create something unexpected. In this workshop you’ll join two mixed media artists for a fun and eye-opening journey through your own personal history. Create a portrait of your childhood home and a portrait of yourself. Learn a little bit more about what makes your story special while you learn new skills and a fresh approach. You’ll need paints, paper, colored-pencils, and brushes for this workshop. Perfect for artists at all levels.
Workshop Timeline
- Milestone 1: First up, join illustrator Claudia Melchor in Mixed Media Illustration: Paint Your Childhood Home. Claudia teaches you how to mix and match your favorite materials to create a personal and unique illustration. You’ll learn her approach to turning a photograph into a layered painting full of texture and personality. Share your work in the Project Gallery by March 9th.
- Milestone 2: Next, join illustrator Maria-Ines Gul in Mixed Media Illustration: Create a Self Portrait with Watercolor, Gouache, and More, a Skillshare Original. Maria-Ines guides you through using a variety of materials to create a vivid self-portrait that feels authentically you. Learn layering, how to add fine detail, lightbox techniques for building on previous iterations, and testing colors and patterns to add emotion. Share your portrait in the Project Gallery by March 23rd.
