Don’t miss out on this fun workshop! Open to FAA members and non-members!
Medium: Gel Printing, Transparent Acrylics, Mixed Media, Collage
Description: Who doesn’t love a great party?! Who doesn’t love having complete freedom and fun painting? Using seemingly random, deliciously colorful, and wildly patterned gel printed papers is a recipe for FUN. Painting on top of them? Well, that is a party on your paper!
Learn the exciting world of monoprints by using Gel-Press Plates with unusual textural elements on non-traditional surfaces to create layers of FUN! They will use one of these prints as the collaged, prepared surface for the background of their painting.
Learn the exciting process of how Trish creates prepared surfaces with texture, lines, and exciting patterns – the party! – and then paints on top of them. Students will learn the concepts of negative painting, lost and found edges, color theory, and strong design – all in one class! So, who wants to have a party?!
Trish McKinney is a national and international award-winning artist, instructor, graphic designer, and published author and illustrator. Her unique mixed watermedia paintings are about being aware of a moment then sharing her wonder by telling the story. The passion that drives it all for this artist is to inspire – both through paintings, writing, and teaching. Trish especially loves the unpredictable surprise and spontaneous nature of watercolor and combining layers of meaning in her painting through words and unexpected shapes. She loves to ask “what if” when working in her studio because that always leads her to a new discovery.
