Art for Beginners Mixed Media Painting

On this exciting course, you have the opportunity to explore a range of different mixed media and collage techniques. The emphasis will be on combining water-based media such as watercolour and acrylics, with a variety of drawing media, e.g. pencil, charcoal, pastels, etc. Reference will be made throughout the course to contemporary and historical artists who have used mixed media and collage techniques.

• Explore formal elements (line, tone, colour, texture, etc.) to develop visual ideas.
• Produce a series of compositions that use mixed media and collage techniques.
• Work to health and safety guidelines.

There is no set ‘homework’, but you are welcome to practise and do further work at home.
