Private Class at Elderberry Place
Had a privately booked class last nite at Elderberry. It was a lot of fun and went a little too long, but these girls were really getting into their LAYERS ... they were purposeful w/ colors and shapes ... and they came up w/ beautiful creations. Yes I managed to remember to take pics ... but my camera sux. (possibly time for a new one???)
They really had a great time ... and want to have another class now that they 'understand' the process better. Mixed Media really does have a specific process if you're headed to a certain outcome. In this case they were going to be masking (covering up) the bulk of their base painting in order to highlight a specific shape (flower / heart / leaves, etc).
What I should have done w/ this type of class is tell then where exactly they are headed (which they had seen in the example but it didn't "sink" in) so they would be placing certain patterns, etc in the right spots to be highlighted when they masked and white washed.
We went way too long, but we had one that was running late so we tried to wait for her ... lesson learned ... we need the 2 hours sometimes. LOL
And ...... I think I need instruction on how to teach Mixed Media.
