Art Journaling w/ Color, Texture, and Shape with Samie Harding

Art Journaling w/ color, texture, and shape
Saturday, May 17th 2-6:30 PM
Teacher: Samie Harding
Cost: $65

Have you always loved texture and color? In this art journaling class, you’ll explore your own palette by discovering which of your favorite colors work well together, create a million layers (roughly), and learn more texture-making techniques than you thought were possible! We’ll be doing collage, stamping, and figure-drawing (or tracing!) in our art journals before diving into a bright sea of color. This is extreme acrylic layering like you’ve never seen before!

We’ll also be creating own own tools, modifying ones you can grab at the dollar store, and playing with those available in the studio. Get ready for a messy day of paint & self-expression!

(All tools welcome except the paintbrush! I know…no paintbrushes? Yep! Anyone can do it, no matter what your experience level may be. You’ll learn a lot about acrylics either way!)

Supply list Needed for Class:

Favorite acrylic paints
stamps
ink pads
pencils & markers
glue (gel medium, mod podge, etc)
scissors
palette knives (plastic or metal) or spatulas (dollar store)
2-3 catalyst tools (my particular favorites are: Blade No. 1 in size 15 and Blade No. 2 in size 30 ) http://princetonbrush.com/catalyst-blades-oil.html

IMG_3920_smallAbout Samie

Samie Harding (aka Journal Girl) didn’t always know she’d become an artist. In fact, after earning a BA in film/TV production, she thought she’d be spending her time in sunny LA. But a health scare changed the trajectory of her life, and she’s been painting and art journaling ever since.

Her work has appeared in over two dozen publications & books, including Somerset Studio, Art Journaling, Cloth Paper Scissors, & more. Her stamp designs have been produced by Paperbag Studios, and has created artists papers for Stampington. She’s been an instructor for over five years, working to spread the healing magic of art journaling and creativity. A self-taught artist, Samie fosters a wild curiosity to see “what would happen if I did [insert crazy idea here]” as well as a casual and open manner when it comes to answering questions. In short, she is an art supply & mixed media geek who sometimes bounces around when she discovers a new technique.

You can visit her @ www.journalgirl.com, where she blogs her creative adventures daily, which is a little crazy, but she loves it all the same.
