Mosaic Portraiture
Starts: May 17, 2014 Ends: May 18, 2014 9:00 am - 5:00 pm Sold Out Description
In this intermediate-level workshop you will use traditional and non-traditional mosaic techniques to understand structure, cross-contour, highlights, color, gradation, value and types of shadows. You will learn how to see things differently with artist tricks and learn fine art techniques such as understanding facial structure, color and value in order to create and discover realism in mosaic art. You'll learn to mix glass values and colors to define planes, and how to use color most effectively. Carol will help you to develop your own style and foster an eye for mosaic. There will be a one hour demonstration and you'll begin a life-like 12 x 12 mosaic portrait from a photograph. |
