About the event
October 10 @ 10:30 am – 3:30 pm
Join us for a playful and creative mixed media class! Using a combination of acrylic paint and torn paper collage, you’ll create a vibrant hummingbird on canvas.
We’ll begin with a loose painting process, creating a colourful base layer on your canvas to prepare it for collage. Then you’ll explore torn paper collage techniques—choosing from a variety of hand-printed papers, then tearing, layering, and arranging them to bring your hummingbird to life with colour, details and texture. We’ll finish with a few final flourishes using paint and paint pens.
This class is perfect for beginners (no experience needed!) as well as experienced artists looking to explore a new medium. Step-by-step instruction is provided throughout, with plenty of room for creativity and personal expression.
All materials are provided. The class includes a 30-minute break, so feel free to bring a lunch.
