OH what you can do with a hardbord surface paint paper and some juicy mediums!  I thought I would post brand new example of what you will learn to do when participating in my Workshop # 2 Building the Backdrop Behind Your Vintage Images. 

Plus... I am adding a fabulous Crackle Medium to the list of supplies I will be bringing with me...  You will love it!

Workshop: Building the Backdrop Behind Your Vintage Photo

Building the Backdrop Behind your Vintage Snapshot

This will be a make and take workshop. 

***There have been key changes to the supply list for this workshop.  Please visit the "Supply List" link on the sidebar for an updated list"

During this workshop we will create two complete pieces of art, one outdoor and one indoor setting for your chosen photograph of an individual. 

For the outdoors    we will be using ephemera, paint, and other various mediums to build a somewhat abstract sky, ground, and even trees with leaves if you would like.  Through images, clouds of text, houses with revealing windows, and circled words you will add layer to layer and even uncover parts of your buried layers.

For the indoors we will create a 2-dimensional interior room.   We will be building hardwood floors and plaster walls.  We will hang pictures on the walls and ephemera will be applied and sanded to appear to be part of the wall you put it on.  We can add windows and doors, corners and crawl spaces, cracks, grafitti… You name it!

In creating both pieces we will learn how to draw our viewers into our work by creating a sense of intimacy, a peek into someone’s personal space, telling their personal story.

Each participant is required to pay a $15.00 supply fee to the instructor at the beginning of the workshop.  The supplies provided are listed under the “I will bring with me” section of the supply list. A link to a complete list of supplies you will need to bring and a list of supplies I will be contributing is provided on the side bar.Please refrain from taking photos until the end of each section after teaching is complete.
