Lush Layered Canvas

Roxanne Padgett

What I like to say when I paint is “start with a broom and end with a needle” meaning start big and go small, layer by layer. You will paint on canvas and various other surfaces to create unique beautiful pieces of art. We will create layers with collage, painting, stenciling, stamping, and printing. You will create your own stencils, printing plates and stamps to use on your canvas. Along with your personal projects, we will also be creating a large sized community canvas that everyone one will paint on and then we will cut the canvas for each person to receive a piece of at the end of class. I will bring all the paints and tools for you to use in class. You can use your canvas pieces at home for journals, sewing projects or framed art.
