Getting the most out of mixed media sketching!

Level: All

Join Barbara in this one-session work-a-long practice using mixed media.  Learn how to get the most punch out of your wet and dry media, including: color pencils, water-soluble crayons, conte crayon, gouache paints, and watercolors.  You’ll work in your sketchbook from your own choice of subject matter.  Barbara will guide you through ways to layer different media, get good pigment strength out of your colors, and practice a wide range of values, too.  This will be a fun and challenging exercise aimed at expanding your visual vocabulary—say more with your mixed media!

Fugate has taught expressive drawing and painting classes and workshops in Seattle, as well as international workshops for over 25 years. Schools where Fugate has taught include Gage Academy of Art, Seattle Pacific University, Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts (Victoria, BC), La Conner Art Workshops, as well as her own Seattle Weekend Art Workshops. Fugate’s artwork is published in “The Best of Drawing and Sketching” by Terry Sullivan, “Landscape Painting” by Mitchell Albala, and Margaret Davidson’s book, “Contemporary Drawing”.
