The Elegant Mess
Date: Friday, April 27
Time: 5:00 - 9:00 PM
Fee: $65.00

A veritable food fight of a class! Where the spontaneous meets the specific. Where the positive meets the negative. And where leftovers go to play. We will fiddle around with principles of figure/ground relationship as we integrate sprayed color washes and splattered paint, collage, stencils, and stamps on Oriental and watercolor paper with remarkable results. Suitable for small or large format work, this visual play time will add miles to artistic efforts! Fred crams an enormous amount of material into 4 hours, and the class size is extremely limited, so you will walk away with a hands-on experience like no other! Students should bring: cutting mat (ideally, larger than 3"x4" and smaller 9"x12"), Xacto or craft knife (preferably not scissors), metal ruler or straight edge for cutting straight lines, and at least 6 Luminarte H2Os or one of the USArtQuest PearlEx round palettes. (For the H2Os, add water to these the day prior to class. They need to be fairly pastey. This is important!) Color selection is up to you. You may also wish to bring a work apron (strongly advised).
