Mixed Media Illustrations – QUICK NEW METHOD!
This is a fun and easy course that shows you a cool new method of making your drawing and paintings pop! It's a mixed media technique developed by NYC-based artist Cristian S. Aluas over his 18 year career. With a little prep-work and some basic art supplies, you can take any photo and make a beautiful and unique illustration. Turn your travel photos into art, or make a portrait look amazing and different. You can also create art from your imagination, working with fun colours and materials. Now let's explore our creativity with mixed media illustrations!
Students will learn how to draw and paint on paper using easily-acquired art materials. The technique is very quick to do and the end result is very impressive. No prerequisites. Just watching, to start. Students can then apply these same techniques to their own subjects, like drawing characters from your imagination, recreating holiday photos, or drawing portraits for friends and family. This course is for intermediate students (even advanced) that have some basic drawing and painting skills and want to learn a new art technique that is really quick and fun! (Novice students can try it but they may need further courses, if they are not good at drawing portraits in the third exercise.)
