scraping techniques. Collage, gesso and gel mediums, transfers and stamping
are some of the techniques to experiment with. Finishing techniques
will be introduced and demonstrated. The focus is abstract; however, combining
abstract with realistic elements is an option. Individual attention
and private critique time. Each student will receive a three-ring, forty-two

design, color, inspirational quotes, finishing suggestions, supply sources
and much more. Goal is to inspire confidence and leave you fired up and
