Description

This workshop will unravel the mystery of creating depth in your artwork by using polyester film. Suzie will show you how to jazz up your layouts and create art that viewers will want to dive into!  You will have the opportunity to create a master reference sheet and record your discoveries as you work with a variety of mediums, create pattern and texture, and layer your work by using both sides of the film. The explorations you make in this workshop will open the door to endless possibilities in your future artwork. Let's peel back the layers!
