During this workshop Shazia guides students of all artistic levels through the steps of creating mixed media      paintings on paper, canvas and board.  Students will add collage using various materials such as tissue papers,     newspapers, photocopies and decorative papers as the base and then acrylic washes and paints will be applied to create a mixed media surface. Drawing will be done with charcoal, oil pastels and finished with acrylics paints. Students will be introduced to image transfer and variety of mixed media techniques. Shazia will also touch on basics of composition, colour wheel, principles and elements of design during this session. Get ready for a colourful and fun experience!
