Sketchbook to Mixed Media Artwork workshop

Think of your sketchbook as an exciting place to explore techniques, try out and record ideas. The morning of this workshop will be spent creating work and ideas using watercolour and collage in our sketchbooks. This will be inspired by images brought in by Sally.
Select different bases for backgrounds to work on, maybe a sheet of text, music or a map. Explore the creative process, from a scribbled sketch to a detailed illustration including descriptions in writing of what you are seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling.
Use a combination of papers, collage, textiles, pencil, ink, print with old wooden letters and paint.
Play with colour palettes, go with your intuition, lay out your colours in a colour bar to see how they look. Edit and select ideas you like and expand on them using alternative media.
The afternoon of the workshop will be about extracting your sketchbook ideas and translating them onto paper for a final piece, working at A3 size with Sally’s creative guidence. Mounts will be provided for your final piece of mixed media work to take away.
If you wish to bring any of your own photos to work from or different collage papers, textures or textiles please do so. Sally will provide lots of interesting textures to choose from too.
Please bring a bit to eat for lunch or you can pop to one of the local shops/delis for some lunch. We will have a half hour break.
Tea, coffee and biscuits included but please bring a lunch.
