Instructor: Lenny Moskowitz

Fee: $115 (incl us of RAC's supplies)

Workshop Description:

This one-day workshop is about exploring drawing, painting, and collaging flowers. We will be dealing with some basics of value, color, and playfulness. Previous art experience is not necessary, but coming to the workshop with an open and playful mindset is. Some of the techniques we will be using will be crayoning, painting over crayons, and collaging–with an emphasis on creating texture with paint. A real mixed-media assortment.

Supply List:

  • Large drawing paper
  • scissors
  • glue
  • pencils
  • old magazines (preferably magazines that are colorful, like fashion, home and garden, etc.)
  • paint (your choice, acrylic or watercolor)
  • a couple of brushes
  • a palette to mix paint on
  • spray bottle to keep your acrylic from drying out
  • painting surfaces (such as canvas boards, a stretch canvas, or paper)
  • water jar.

If you’re using acrylics it’s nice to have a medium, which is clear acrylic paint with no pigment in it. This comes in gloss or matte. Lenny prefers the matte because the paint is matte.

RAC will have many of these supplies on hand in case you forget something.
