Judy Tate
Soft pastels are optional!
Judy will be demonstrating how to use mixed media, mostly acrylic products ( inks, fluids, gouache etc ) to create a dynamic and expressive flower painting - the final layer can be created either in soft pastels or acrylic paint - your choice. Negative spaces will definitely be explained as a useful tool.
If you do not want to create a floral painting the same principles can work for landscapes so feel free to do that!
