About this Event

Spend the morning in an air conditioned art studio and create a unique portrait of your favorite Golden Age movie star with mixed media and collage. Using an oval watercolor paper base, students will create background atmosphere with watercolor or gouache and then compose a layered nest of textures and colors to highlight a beautiful face. Participants are free to bring their own black and white photos or select from a huge supply of historical and contemporary resources. Students will have access to endless ephemera and may choose to augment these compositions with embroidery, costume jewelry and other small natural and print elements. These beautiful compositions will be suitable for framing. See some samples and student work in progress below. Tea, coffee, cool drinks, light snacks and chocolate will be provided. This is a morning class. Sign up with a friend!​

Meet at Art Emergency 721 E. 9th Street at 9 am.



There are no cash refunds, however the price of the class can be used as credit in a future class, either for yourself or a gift to another, credit towards private lessons or a deposit on a custom commission paper garment.
