Additional workshop added to Donna Downey’s UK Schedule!!!

Sunday 25th March 2012 – 6pm till 9pm

6 x 18″ mixed-media canvas

This workshop is designed to guide you through the multi-layers building of creating an original mixed-media canvas”6 x 18″. By using mixed media tags, modeling paste, gesso, tapes, fabric and paper elements each layer will lead you closer to creating a textural and beautiful piece of artwork celebrating strength and beauty. By keeping our color palette simple, using lots of dimensional elements and several simple techniques for applying texture you will tap into that inner artist and watch your blank canvas transform into an amazing collage. Further pictures and information can be found on our website here (http://www.your-creativemoments.co.uk/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=327) . Discounts are available for individuals booking onto more than one workshop.
