Sponge, scrape, and stamp every ounce of color out of your acrylic paints with textile artist Sherrill Kahn. In this mixed media DVD workshop, you’ll discover textures that enliven any paper or fabric project, from collages to clothing. With no brushes or drawing skills required, beginners will feel welcome, and experienced artists will find quick and innovative ways to add color to collage. Sherrill sponges down base colors at breackneck speed before helping you master a variety of painting tools. She layers opaques with craft sticks and scrapers, flows liquid colors into fabric, and adds metallic accents with an applicator tip. Sherrill re-stamps, recycles, and experiments with leftover paint, helping you get the most from your materials. She paints on cotton, card stock, interfacing, and more, and each surface produces equally striking results. She combines paper and fabric as she finishes the workshop with two complete collages. Add punch and pizzazz to any craft project in Acrylic Paint Pizzazz: Collage Techniques for Paper and Fabric with Sherrill Kahn.

Put patterns to work with mixed media artist Anne Bagby. You’ll create your own stamps, masks, stencils, and paper as you build a truly customized collage. Work fast and free, layering homemade paper and lush acrylic glazes to design an intricate and eclectic figure. Anne makes all her own collage materials. She combines stamped and painted patterns to create the wafer-thin paper she uses throughout the workshop. You’ll transfer antique designs to hand-carved stamps and cut contact paper masks to guide custom stencils. Using an experimental process, working simultaneously on five figures, Anne takes risks with the weakest, using the freedom of collage to find creative solutions. You’ll quickly build shapes with paper and slowly unify them with controlled glazes. The borders may resemble tapestry, quilts or printed fabrics. Anne shows you a variety of techniques to create the decorative borders including, stenciling, stamping, photocopying, computer printing, monoprinting, airbrush, collage and painting.
