Art Lessons 2016, Volume 11: Adding Dimensions with Darlene Olivia McElroy

Description

In this November Art Lesson, mixed-media artist Darlene Olivia McElroy will demonstrates how to cast and shape paper clay, texturize it, and add color. She’ll also show you how to create fiber paste and mixed transparency skins, use fiber paste with stencils to create deconstructed designs, layer stencils with fiber paste, and more. This lesson offers a variety of creative techniques that you can mix and match to add dimension and texture to your art.

Darlene calls herself an explorer, and when you see the plethora of ideas she has for incorporating fiber paste and paper clay in your art, you’ll see why. She takes these two materials and creates molds, layers, cuts, stamps, paints, and much more.
