Join us for this 3-week Botanical & Bugs geli monoprint class! 

Students will first draw out bugs on paper, using oil pastel or crayons, transferring it to the plate, and then laying color down and setting plants with texture on them to print the plants as a background.

Art Without Boundaries Eligible.

All materials are supplied by the Peoria Art Guild.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, we will create our own watercolor pigments from natural minerals using a 2-step process.

Students will use a mortar and pestle to grind the pigment, and a muller to bind the pigment. Afterwards, we will learn a handful of watercolor techniques, and create handmade cards. 

All materials provided.

Come explore painting with a palette knife! We will start with simple landscapes, and you will learn how to block in shapes and mix paint for that beautiful sky with maybe a few clouds. From distant mountains to foreground color will be the key. You can be as abstract (loose) as you feel comfortable or detailed (tight) if that is your style. No previous experience necessary, and as easy as spreading butter.
