Are you intrigued by the layers of sweet beauty that encaustic painting offers but intimidated by the process and hesitant to invest in another assortment of art supplies? Or, are you looking to try some new techniques that explore the usage of acrylic mediums? Perhaps you simply want to begin your journey into the mixed media art world. If so, then we invite you to join this delightful online workshop. Students will be led through a fascinating process of mimicking encaustic painting by incorporating acrylic mediums, layers of collage, acrylic paint., and enhanced with light journal writing on stretched canvases. Students will be provided with videos, still pictures, and written directions to utilize during the work shop. By the end of the course, students will have completed four faux encaustic pieces. We also have a coupon code for 10% off regularly priced items at Jerry's Artarama for those that register for the class!

Would you like to create a face that uniquely complements your art? Drawing faces is not difficult if you learn a few basic guides for creating a normal face. Although each face varies in placement of features and proportions, these guides or measurements will make creating a face easy and fascinating. In this drawing faces class you will learn the horizontal and vertical measures that assist you to construct a simple face with pleasing proportions, both adult and child. You will then learn to experiment with varying these proportions to create a unique face with characteristics that make it special. Once you learn to draw a basic face you will no doubt be intrigued with faces as I was and seek to discover more about drawing faces. Begin to look around you at the features and proportions that make each face unique.

If you're using your Photoshop or Photoshop Elements program just to crop and resize pictures then this workshop is for you! Not only will you learn how to create and apply your own custom brushes (aka digital stamps) but what you learn in this workshop should then enable you to apply more creativity to your own images. This workshop is video and will allow you to actually see me working the desktop area and explaining everything as I work.
This will be a video only workshop with 4 videos. In our last session we will actually make a grungy background and then learn to make a tag and apply what we've learned in the workshop to the tag.
I keep my explanations easy to understand and will be available for questions and I approach teaching from that of a working artist who can sometimes be computer challenged like everone else, rather than a techie expert. ;-) I use Photoshop Elements 5 to teach this workshop but all versions of Photoshop 7 or later, or Photoshop Elements are welcome. If you have a version of Photoshop earlier than 7 I am no longer recommending this class.
So, if you are like I used to be, and spend more time complaining about lack of Photoshop/Elements knowledge, than time spent using it... this workshop is a great way to start putting this powerful editing program to work for you and your art!
