Class Description:
What is Yupo Paper?
It is a synthetic, recyclable and waterproof paper with unique attributes that create different effects from traditional woodpulp or cotton paper. It's smooth, non-absorbent surface allows the paint to flow more freely and colors to stay especially bold and vibrant.
What is Mineral Paper? *eco-paper
It is made up of 80% calcium carbonate (mineral found in shells and stone) and has a smooth, velvety, slightly more porous that allows for more fluid movement than traditional watercolor paper but is more absorbant than Yupo, creating it's own unique effect.
After some initial instruction and demonstration of the materials and the striking effects that can be achieved on Yupo and Mineral papers, students will be encouraged to experiment in the spirit of play with watercolor paints, inks and alcohol. We will incorporate salt and some torn paper (optional) to create beautiful, abstract pieces that highlight the unique attributes of art made with these materials.
*All students will leave with an 8x8 shadow box that is included. All materials supplied.
Age Group: Adults (18 and over)
Level: All levels welcome
