Fresh and High-contrast Florals with Modern Mixed Media

Mixed media can mean many things. In this 90-minute class, Tina Hotchkiss (@tinasartforms) will combine coloured pencils, watercolour and black gesso to show us: 

• How opaque materials can work together with transparent watercolours

• Creating powerful Notans (placement of light and dark elements)

• Finding balance when mixing mediums with different textures and consistencies

• Bringing a contemporary touch to your work
