- Beginning Packets
-
Beginning Painting Packets teach basic watercolor techniques while
providing the student with designs that sharpen their skills. Each packet
focuses on a specific technique plus color mixing using a limited palette.
All Packets includes a beginning supply list, easy to follow Step-by-Step
written instructions (both general watercolors, and project specific); a
line drawing, plus a photograph of the finished painting.
- Intermediate Packets
-
Intermediate Painting Packets utilize skills you already have while
stressing painting techniques, color mixing, design elements, and value
relationships. Each design focuses on a specific technique. Packets include
a line drawing, easy to follow Step-by-Step written instructions plus a
photograph of the finished painting.
- Advanced Packets
-
Advance Painting Packets are primarily for the advance student, to
assist in sharpening skills and techniques while focusing on creating
individual painting styles. Painting packets include a line drawing,
Step-by-Step instructions, plus a photograph of the completed painting.
- Collage Packets
-
Collage -- the dictionary defines collage
as “artistic composition of materials and objects pasted over a
surface, often with unifying lines and color.”
Collage can be simple or as complicated as you like.
I have selected a few of my favorite collage paintings for
these pattern packets. Some
collage material has been photocopied, plus I have added generic
material. You may want to
photocopy these materials before creating your unique collage -- thus
having like materials to do another collage. These
packets include required collage materials, a photograph of the
finish piece, a line drawing and Step-by-Step instructions.
I hope these projects will get those creative juices flowing
and take you and your art into another dimension.
