1st 3D Acrylic Painting Workshop at Purple Faye’s Pontefract Studio

Last Saturday (12th March 2016) I did the first workshop in my new Pontefract studio. Laura had done a workshop with me before when I had the shop space in Castleford, so it was nice to see her again.

Here’s what she made…..

Taking inspiration from the felt flowers on her hat, Laura started by drawing and cutting out the flower and leaf shapes from the cardboard. She then built up the layers using more cardboard and stuck them on the blank canvas once she was happy with their placement.

Once the glue had securely bonded the cardboard to the canvas the next job was to cover it with modroc. This was quite a fiddly and time consuming job due to the nature of the smaller shapes used.

After waiting for the modroc to dry it was given a quick tickle with the sandpaper to get rid of some of the rough bits then the painting could begin. The base coat has been painted on here. The rest of the painting with be done when Laura returns to complete the workshop.

A bit more about the workshops:

Workshops: Make Your Own 3D Acrylic Painting with Purple Faye

Transform ordinary cardboard and modroc into your very own beautiful 3D Acrylic Painting to treasure forever.

The workshops will focus on using artist Purple Faye’s techniques with cardboard, modroc and acrylic paint to make 3D Acrylic Paintings at her studio in Pontefract.

 

Participants will be guided through the process by artist Purple Faye and given hands on help to produce their own 3D Acrylic Painting.

 

Starting with drawing, then manipulating the cardboard and modroc, finishing by painting with acrylic paints.

 

All materials and tools needed will be provided.

 

Time to allow the modroc to dry will be required so participants can choose to complete their 3D Acrylic Painting over one full day (with a refreshment break to allow for the modroc to dry) or over two half days.

 

(Choose between Thursday, Friday or Saturday)

 

By the end of the workshops participants will have created their own 3D Acrylic Painting to take home and keep or give as a gift.
