Use string or chains to create amazing feathers or a butterfly. A fun technique for all ages.

After some demonstration, students will practice on a small canvas and then paint a 30 x 40 cm (12 x 16 inch) gallery wrapped canvas or similar which you can collect after 3-5 days drying time (or arrange to have sent to you). All instruction, support and materials are supplied.

You will learn:

• How to prepare your canvas
• How to mix paints and paint mediums suitable for this technique
• How to mix pigments
• The specific recipe needed to do this technique and what difference this makes.
• How to choose colours and layer your paints on the canvas.
• How to create beautiful cells or lacing in your art (without silicone oil)

All supplies provided including canvases, paint, pouring medium, cups, gloves, and tools. 

Light refreshments (tea, coffee) provided.

We use acrylic paint that is non toxic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can be a messy business, and whilst the paint and mediums will wash out if you get to it quickly, that is not always easy to do.
