Create a Mixed Media Acrylic Collage Portrait using a photo transfer face image and vintage fabric.
In this workshop you will be creating a Mixed Media Acrylic Collage Portrait using a photo transfer face image as a base. The substrate will be a vintage fabric piece (vintage tablecloth, napkin, table runner, etc.)
This photo transfer will act as an underpainting which will allow us to focus more on painting techniques. Color mixing, values and lighting will be the art principles we will concentrate on.
To make the collage, we will create our own collage papers using image transfers, mark making exercises, joint compound application, stitching, stenciling and more. We will take these elements along with the portrait to create our final mixed media project.
