Stone paper offers exciting possibilities for unexpected abstract effects and rich textures. In this course we will experiment with different techniques and approaches, discovering how this smooth and waterproof surface reacts uniquely to various materials. We will work with watercolours, liquid acrylics, brushes, markers and monotype techniques to create beautiful gift card and holiday greeting card illustrations.
Target group
Beginners as well as more experienced artists.
Objective
Throughout the course you will develop a small series of illustrative works suitable for gift cards and holiday greeting cards, while gaining confidence in using stone paper as an innovative artistic surface. You can also choose to focus on experiments and getting to know the material better, without making any card illustrations.
Working method
The course combines guided technical demonstrations with individual experimentation and is conducted in a small group with good opportunity for personalized instruction.
Materials
Basic materials are included. Additional stone paper sheets can be purchased from the instructor. Payment is made via Swish.
Other
This course is held at the Folkuniversitet's premises at Liberagatan 42 on Lindholmen, where the KV Konstskola and the Ballet Academy (Balletakademin) are also located.
