Have fun spending the day painting, printing, cutting and sticking!

Inspired by the works of Paul Klee and contemporary artist Emma Brownjohn, we will explore different approaches to creating stylized images of tiny townscapes.
With multiple layers of paint, print and collage we will develop our piece of work incorporating a variety of techniques.
A fun and informal workshop, lots of step-by-step demos & individual help.... no experience necessary…..just a big apron!

Materials to bring:
Heavy watercolour paper or mixed media paper as a base for your work

Collage papers…..small scraps of book pages, patterned papers, music scores – whatever you have (tutor will also bring some)
PVA or acrylic matt medium or glue stick

Drawing pencil, rubber, black fineliner pen, optional white pen
Felt tips or Posca pens or coloured pencils (tutor will also bring some to share)

Acrylic paints or tube watercolours/gouache – primary colours, black & white plus any others you may have
Brushes (inc. a broad flat one if you have it), palette, water pot, kitchen roll, scissors

Textures to print with e.g bubble wrap, ribbed card, wallpaper etc (tutor will also bring some)

Images for inspiration as starting points – photos, magazines, travel brochures etc

Old clothes / apron

N.B This is also suitable for work on textiles – substitute watercolour paper for calico and collage papers for small pieces of fabric. Acrylic paints work well on fabric, as well as actual fabric paints.
