 Are you ready to diversify your skills?

Learn to create a mixed media   painting and/or sculpture using    Powertex, Stone Art, and dry        pigments. This is not a “project” painting. Students will render their own subject matter using techniques demonstrated in class.

Powertex  will be used as a base and as a medium combining dry pigments, paper, and other materials to develop dimensional mixed media artwork.

For the sculpture project students will learn to build a supporting armature and create a unique figure.

Whether you are a beginner or      advanced artist who wants to add additional techniques to their tool box, this class is adaptable to your skill level.

March 14th and 15th, 2013 is all about sculpture and building armatures to support a figurative piece of artwork using Powertex and epoxy clay as the medium. Discover a great way to express your art in 3D with versatile multimedia art materials.

On March 16th and 17th the focus is on a canvas piece using Powertex as a base and medium, combining dry pigments, paper and other interesting materials to develop a mixed media artwork.

Participants have the choice of registering for one session or both. For more information and to download the brochure for location and pricing just click the button below and download the brochure in the Powertex column. The husband/wife professional artists Jimmy and Sheryl McDonald will be graciously hosting the workshop in their beautiful studio. We will all have the rare treat of seeing their new work before they head out for the art circuit this season.

The current 3D project has to do birds (of course). Here they are ready to be sealed using transparent Powertex to harden the paperclay. I built the armature from wire and foil covered in masking tape then fleshed everything out with the clay. As soon as it's all dry other components can be added. The idea sparked with plastic handles  dismantled from an old gaming joystick. The handles looked like minature caps from some sort of mad scientist experiment, all that was needed was a figure underneath. Well, that's an  understatement....I'll be adding a number of interesting oddities and paint and such.

The Tweedle brothers, Dee and Dum, unpainted and wearing their caps. My intention is for them to be fixed together on a base that has as yet to materialize.

The piece is long from being complete. Things show up for projects like this though, for example someone gave me a bag of gears from an old VCR just this week-perfect timing.
