In this class, I wanted to experiment some more with mineral paper. I know it works great with Acrylic inks… and in this class, I want to make some abstract pieces with other acrylic paints I have on hand. You are welcome to do any of these projects on any paper of your choice. I just think it is fun to experiment with different papers to see how they act, react, and work with different materials. Some things work great, and some… not so much. It is that process of discovery that is so exciting.
We will be doing 3 different projects in class. Small samplers to get a feel for the paper, a larger piece you can keep as is or cut up, and another project with some more fluid paints to see how those work out.
This class is for you if:
- You love learning new techniques for your art
- You are interested in experimenting with paints and supplies
- You love watching how others approach their art practice
- You love experimenting with your art supplies
Supplies:
These are the supplies I’ll be using in class. Get creative and experiment if you have some other supplies or ideas that come to you as you go through the class and are creating some of your own art.
- Mineral paper – I’m using this fun paper in class – but you can certainly substitute any paper you have on hand to do these projects. I just like experimenting with different papers to see how they work.
- Variety of paints – I’m working with a variety of acrylic paints in class – I show you the exact paints I’ll be playing with in the supply video and in each project. I like experimenting with the paints – but you can work with any colors and types you have on hand to do your projects.
- Posca pen – just if you want to add some marks at the end. I like adding dots to my pieces.
- painters tape
- Variety of items to spread paint – paint brushes, palette knives, catalyst spreaders, etc. Get creative with how you spread paint on your pieces for interest.
- Any other supplies you are inspired to use as you go through class
