Since then\, paper has become much more prevalent in the world of fine art. Since the scrap booking trend hit the scene\, we have had access to thousands of colors and patterns. Now\, mixed media art combines all the possibilities of wet and dry media into fabulous works of art. This workshop explores the endless possibilities of torn paper with a variety of materials\, including: paint\, texture applications\, stamps\, ink\, fabric/textiles. A template of a honey bee will be used to create a "painting" out of paper. Local artist\, Sara Porter\, will demonstrate and provide hands on instruction in making a Mixed Media Honey Bee work of art. This is a two-day workshop\, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th\, from 6-8 pm. Space is LIMITED for this unique workshop\, so do not wait to get your ticket! The deadline to sign up is Monday night\, the 17th\, at 8 pm. See project description for more details on each night.Ages 16+ Required$90 (covers both evenings\, not able to be separated)Project Description:Wednesday\, Aug 19: It all begins with creating a world for your honey bee to live in. We will spend this first night on the background and the various techniques used to create texture in a dynamic composition. Demonstrations and instructions will cover topics such as: creating a composition that's nice to look at\, how to choose a color scheme\, how much "stuff:" is too much\, texture applications\, using stamps\, ink\, and paint\, the power of text in your composition\, and how to use value (lights and darks) to your advantage. That might sound complicated\, but even if you don't understand everything\, you"ll have our assistance and you'll have fun "playing" with all the "stuff." The instructions from this first night are important to establish your overall plan for what you will do on the 2nd night. Whatever you don't finish on Wednesday\, you will continue where you left off on Thursday. Wet media may include: acrylic paint\, modge podge\, glue\, and ink stamps. Tools: scissors\, sandpaper\, paint brushes\, sponges\, rags\, and your hands!Thursday\, Aug 20: Prepare yourself for a bit of creative chaos. It will look like art exploded in the room. And that's partly what's so FUN about mixed media! We will be creating our honey bees with torn paper\, textiles and a template. Watch Sara demonstrate how she selects her colors and tears the paper to use torn edges\, which gives a "soft" effect to the image. You will have the option to make more than one bee if there's time.Sign up at the link: https://kickscrosslake.com/event/painting-with-paper-workshop-honey-bee/2026-08-19/Ticket Policy:*No refunds*Sign up in advance!
