In this article I pulled out a pile of aaaaaalmost finished mixed media artworks to see if they could be finished during a 2 hour live show. I selected 4 pieces to work on and finished 3!
Watch my thought process as I evaluate the state of each artwork and devise ways to complete them. I hope you’ll try some of the techniques shared in the class video. 🎨
Some of the things you will learn from this workshop include:
how I evaluate artworks to determine if they are complete or need more work;
how to put finishing touches on artwork with mirror foil / metal leaf;
my favorite acrylic and oil-based markers to use for adding line and metallic accents;
using iridescent acrylic paints to highlight texture;
how to add textured elements to artwork with relief outliners;
and more…
