Altered Portraits
Come & learn
how to alter portraits and photographs for inclusion in your
journaling.

Students need to bring:
–Printouts of several
photographs–enlarge them to fill a whole page, if possible. It's okay if
they're black & white, we'll be adding our own colors. You need to photocopy
the photos or print them on a laser-printer…ink-jet copies will smear.
Photographs of people work best, especially if the photograph is mostly a
portrait from the shoulders up.
–Portfolio Water Soluble Oil Pastels
(contact me if you need to know where to buy these)
–Also, students need to
bring standard art journaling supplies–acrylic paints, brushes in several
sizes, gesso, gel medium, pens for journaling.
–I will provide watercolor
paper to work on. If you'd prefer to work in your personal art journal, please
do!
