WORKSHOP - PAINT-COLLAGE-QUILT
Description: |
Starting with a line drawing I'll provide one (or trace the main lines in a photo or painting, use Photoshop filter "Photocopy" or "line drawing" or just the lines in a coloring book). We'll trace it onto fabric, color it in with oil pastels, then we'll use bits and pieces of printed fabrics to enhance the scene. Use as little or as much collage as you like! Besides learning to paint on fabric, the basic rules of landscape composition, and the use of many novelty materials, there will also be instruction and practice on the use of Adobe® Photoshop® Elements to create the pattern.
Add a bit of tulle, and some simple quilting and you will have created your unique masterpiece. If you prefer to finish your piece without sewing, that's okay too! No-sew finishing options are also taught. No drawing skill needed, but expect to learn about values, contrast, perspective and the rules of composition. And a new way of looking at fabric! They'll have to look close to determine if it's fabric or an oil painting! |
