While I will be using oils to demonstrate plein air painting, students are welcome to use acrylics, pastels or watercolor. Locations will be chosen so that each month a different aspect of painting en plein air will be emphasized.

MIXED MEDIA (partially funded by Finger Lakes Community Art Grant**)
Instruction for this class will center on introducing a variety of mixed media techniques appropriate for a wide variety of surfaces and preparing surfaces for creative expression. In the class the following techniques will be explored: Creating surfaces using gel mediums, gesso, ink, sand, stamps, fabric, bubble wrap, saran wrap, stencils, tissue paper, acrylic and water-based paints and a variety of pastels. We will learn how to do a variety of ink jet and photo transfers. I encourage all to take the time to find interesting surfaces for their pieces. These can include pieces of sturdy illustration board or masonite, heavy drawing or watercolor paper, canvas, old cabinet doors or mirrors, books, interesting wood surfaces…just a few examples. I suggest spending some time at a second hand store and see what you can find. Other good ideas are looking at early work of yours that didn’t quite work. The surfaces we create will be designed so that we can paint or draw on them, or you can end up using collage for the entire image.
