paintover photo workshop
|
"Paintover" means painting on top of black and white photocopies. The end result is a painting that evokes warm memories!
The work could be as large as you like. This is a great technique for mixed media artists who want to incorporate photo elements in their work. It shortcuts image transfer. An important skill you will learn is how to adhere a painted piece of paper to a substrate without creating bubbles or wrinkles. Ideas: You might want your loved ones flying to the moon. Or, perhaps take part in a circus. Maybe grandma wants to be part robot. Or fly without wings over a town like in a Marc Chagall painting. Your baby or pet can drive vintage cars. Your dad’s head could to be a Christmas tree topper. Perhaps your teen wants a turtle body.....who knows! To tell your story, you might want to add collage elements: newspaper articles, lettering, images of animals, party hats, crowns, astronaut suit, etc. You could even change the scenery to a jungle/beach/moon/circus. OR, you could simply make your photocopy into a painting. It's all good. Supplies needed:
Optional: Mark making tools, collage paper scraps can be used. Heavy Gel Medium is needed if you are add dimensional elements such as buttons, broken jewelry, ribbons, string etc.
