REGISTRATION OPEN FOR ONLINE ART LABORATORY


REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
Okay the day has finally arrived.  Registration for my very first online workshop.  I'm doing things a bit differently.  I'm not doing projects, but instead I'm taking on different themes or topics, so that by the end you will have a library of art methods at your fingertips.  

The first issue is focusing on color, in particular, the color washes that I use daily to create a multitude of interesting effects.  Mostly it involves the use of two or more colors and how to create specific results.
You will get about 90 minutes of video and then PDFs with color charts and instructions to create desired effect.  At the bottom of this page I have a list of Questions and Answers that I expect you may have.





So are you interested?  Click on one of the two payment buttons
Option One
Art Laboratory: Issue One


Option Two:  
You get the OnLine Class AND a Shades of Alchemy Color Fan.  I'm offering a deal on the Shades of Alchemy Fans (normally $15).  Get $5 off when you purchase in conjunction with OnLine Class.

OnLine Lab and Shades of Alchemy Color Fan 
$49.95  plus $2 shipping and handling for U.S. and Canada.  


Please email me for shipping costs to other countries.

Don't forget the possibilities of
unusual substrates. I used the grunge wash on a muslin doll that was gessoed. Worked great.

Would it be possible to get actual DVDs for your class? Unfortunately, I do not have a sound card in my 'puter, (actually need a new computer) but I REALLY want to take this class!

deMeng said...

Hi Sandie
I am looking into DVDs...it would be released after the class (probably a month or two) I want to include the same info and not just video so I need to check on what needs to be done with PDFs and the like. Otherwise it might not work for you if you still would need to play it on your computer. So more info to come on that.
cheers
