Materials and Information

Even if you don't feel like a spring chicken these days I guarantee that this beautiful project is guaranteed to give you wings (creative, metaphorical wings, that is!). During this workshop you will learn how to create this gorgeous fella using a fail-safe recipe system which means that you don't need to be able to draw...I promise! The whole process is relaxing and restorative as we learn to built layers of colour. All the difficult decisions here are made for you so that you can enjoy experimenting with colour and patterning effects. You will learn how to blend and build colour in mixed media, explore different options for adding text and how to make cohesive colour choices as well as loads of little useful tips, cheats and hacks!
