H108 - Magical Midnight Stories

[back to quicklinks]
$ 140  

Class Description: Think of the night sky; its colors are varied, rich, and luminous. In this class will explore the "dark side" of color, painting on black paper and using all sorts of mediums to capture the Art of Darkness, including pencils, bleach, paint, watercolor, acrylics and various other products. Experiment with paints you have never tried, make pictures, textures, and dream imagery on the velvety surface of this paper.

When our experimenting is done, we will bind the pages into a four section book with no beginning and no end. The book will fit into a small painted case, and will be filled with samples woven into the pages. The final treat of this class is that you will not use glue! All the parts and pieces will be woven, stitched and folded into our book of the night.
