Metallics & Mixed Media - Wildlife


  • Swinton's Art Supplies 7160 Fisher Street Southeast Calgary, AB, T2H 0W5 Canada (map)

$210 - 3 x 1/2 day workshops

Adult/Teen level

Join GOLDEN Artist Educator Ashley Gaboury as she takes you through the process of painting your favorite animals. Using Acrylics and Mixed Media explore ways of depicting wildlife with collage elements to create drama. Participants will develop stylized portraits which capture the “inner light” of their subjects while experimenting with Metallics and Mixed Media. A set of GOLDEN OPEN Acrylics (valued at $50.00) will be provided for each participant and brushes will be supplied. Please bring a 12” x 16” canvas, paper towels (blue paper towels work best), a palette or palette paper, an 8.5” x 11” black and white printed picture (on standard printer/photocopy paper) of an animal, along with a colored reference photo (can be on a digital device). This workshop is suitable for artists of most levels of experience but is not designed for young children; however mature pre-teens/teens are welcome.
