Create your own piece of unique botanical abstract art and design utilizing matte medium image transfers, masking tape rip and tear shapes, paper collage, and adding detail touches like pencil,  and mark making with found and everyday objects. We will practice test on paper to get a general composition and idea then work direct on a smooth light thick wood surface that will be ready hang on any wall in your home. For image transfers we will use black and white photocopies and matte medium to create a thin nontoxic acrylic polymer emulsion that lifts the paper off the image so we are left with a transparent piece of art that can be then adhered to your wood block. You can add more transfers or choose to use the tape, paper, or even monoprint textures. *** Please bring any reference that you would like to create from as well black and white xerox copies for your matte medium transfers. We will provide reference as well.
