I recently completed a very successful online workshop with great results. Students from all over South Africa took part and benefitted a great deal from the online Zoom function.
For three days we worked from 9am – 4pm with ease, creating great art.
“Mixed Media with Oil” is a technique I developed in 2019 already and over the years it proofed to be a relaxing, playful, exciting process to create a a very pleasing work of art.
I call this technique “All my favourite things”. In actual fact it is all my favourite effects from various mediums on one canvas.
I love Drawing, and the loose effect of scribbling, therefore the Pastel pencil in the process. I also love the vibrant effect of a hand made reed pen with ink, therefore the presence of acrylic ink and reed. I admire watercolour effect, wet into wet and wet on dry, therefore the watercolours as part of the process. My all time favourite is the use of oils as thin wash, oils with thick brush strokes and impasto oils put down with a palette knife, to round it all off to a finished product.
Please feel free to contact me should you require more information about this technique or should you be interested in a workshop for yourself or the artists in your area.
