Expand your possibilities! Cathy challenges the artist with fascinating techniques that will allow new dimensions for artistic expression. Students will be introduced to cutting edge materials (as well as some ways to incorporate surprisingly common materials) and methods to create fantastic textural painting surfaces. These creative techniques may be used for realistic paintings as well as abstract and non-objective work.

Students will develop a special effects repertoire that goes far beyond using salt to create snow! You will learn techniques for creating textural grounds, glazing, combining watercolors and acrylics for incredible dimensional paintings, adding collage elements, and resurrecting duds.
