Sketchbook Flip Through

Hello, I am going to take you through some stages of my concertina sketchbook....I spend time preparing the pages in several ways with several layers. Masking tape, collage, ink, gesso. I start drawing into my pages adding Posca pen marks: elements of collage and paint can then be added on top as needed. Any dark areas can be knocked back using gesso.

WORKSHOP 11th January 2024

Julie Leggett is a mixed media Derbyshire artist, who will guide you through this enjoyable and fun workshop.

Julie will show you how to create a wide variety of mixed media effects, in this fun, easy workshop, it is amazing how quick it can all come together. You will leave with a beautiful hoop ready to hang and be admired. The techniques are all stitched using hand sewing and embroidery techniques and once you have learnt them you can experiment and make different arrangements on your hoop. We will be sticking to a palette of two or three colours, this will give the best result. If there are colours that you want to include please bring them along with you.
