Stained Tissue Paper Collage
Create luminous stained-glass-like tissue paper with acrylic paints, then learn how to make the most of the beautiful material you have created with collage techniques. We’ll explore which materials and methods work the best, how to vary the value and intensity of your colors, and then a few other techniques for developing design and pattern on your tissue papers. This workshop is open to beginners, but also appropriate for more experienced artists. Some knowledge of acrylic paints is helpful.

Mixed Media Drawing
Using an expanded interpretation of "drawing", we use paint and collage, as well as drawing tools, to create abstract and representational images. If you are a painter, collage artist, mixed media artist, or even if drawing is your main medium, this workshop gives you tools to move through the places where you get stuck. This workshop is for moderate to advanced artists.

Experimental Composition with Mixed Media
Discover the freedom of working beyond the constraints of traditionally defined media. We’ll mix up textiles, painting, collage and drawing to discover surprising combinations and a new perspective on composition. We’ll be working primarily on un-stretched, unprimed canvas, because it is a substrate that straddles painting and textiles.

The Grammar of Abstract Composition In Acrylic Painting and Collage
n this workshop we will approach composition as a more playful and exploratory inquiry, rather than a set of rules or guidelines. We’ll take a few visual elements and experiment with value, scale, arrangement, color, transparency, and more, to see how these aspects impact our images. We are not in search of the best composition. Rather we are generating as many variations as possible, and noticing our personal responses to them. The goal is to become more articulate in your expression through a deeper understanding of visual language. This method of inquiry, I hope, will allow you to discover your own personal way with composition.

100 Paintings
In this workshop, we will focus on quantity: each week, you will be given a defined starting point from which you will make ten pieces. Each lesson focuses on a particular aspect of visual language and introduces one or two techniques. The pieces don’t have to be “good”; they don’t even have to be finished, and you don’t have to ‘like’ them. They do have to stay on topic, i.e. follow the guidelines of the lesson. This is an intermediate-level course, assuming a reasonable comfort level with acrylic paints, collage, drawing materials, and basic color vocabulary. It includes a weekly lesson for 10 weeks and a WordPress blog.
