Mixex Media Collage and Painting Class 04/09

Back in April, 2009, I took a Mixed Media Art Class in Escondido at Stampfully Yours, taught by Julie Prichard . We completed two 8x10 paintings on Wood Board Boxes. We used vintage text and music paper, the wonderful new line of studio acrylic paints by Claudine Helmuth, stabilo pencils, rubber stamps, with a stencil on one and a mask on another. It was an ambitious workshop, but Julie is an excellent, organized teacher and marched us through it so everyone finished their pieces in three hours. I'm really happy with how mine turned out.

I'd love it if Julie taught another class at Cat's again soon!

Both of these have been sold.

Coming Up - Chris Cozen Weekend Workshops In San Diego

I am so inspired to create original characters, but can't help looking ahead to an entire weekend of art classes taught by Chris Cozen at Stamping Details in Poway, CA.

Chris is a self taught, mixed media artist from Southern California and long time teacher. I have heard nothing but raves about her from artists everywhere. I love and greatly admire her work and also own both of her books. You can find those here.

On Friday, 07/31/09, Chris is giving a class on Monoprints and Collographs from 6-8 PM. Here's the link for details.

On Saturday. 08/01/09, Chris is teaching a class on some incredible vinyl product to paint on. Here's the class info.

Later on Saturday, Chris'will teach: Layer Upon Layer: Collage and Mixed Media Meet Fabric . This will be my first foray into the world of fabric. I've been avoiding using fabric in my art - mostly because I don't want to have to buy one more thing! But I'm very attracted to fabric art and art quilts and gorgeous fabric in general - the possibilities seem endless. Here's the great news for those of you who wanted to take this class but couldn't because it was full; Chris has added this same class on Friday, 07/31/09 from 1:30-5:00! I'll be at the Friday class! Yay! Stamping Details hasn't added this class change to their online calendar, but call the store to sign up.

Sunday, 10:00 - 1:00 pm wraps up the weekend with a class called; Making Your Mark: Sgraffito Techniques. Click here for details. I love making all kinds of cool marks, so this should be fun.

If you need some inspiration, want to learn some techniques and adore painting with a group of other cool, women artists - call the store to sign up. You won't be sorry. Let's paint!
