Creating 3-D Works Using Water-based Media

A free painting/sculpture workshop

Date: Saturday May 9
Time: 1-5 PM
Location: Forum 301 Gallery, 301 W. Ohio St., Chicago, IL 60654 

Workshop participants will be working in watercolor and also creating a sculptural form, working with different thicknesses of watercolor paper, foam board, molding paste, acrylic and watercolor paints, "Yes" paste, polymers, Asian papers, and museum board.

Chicago-based watercolorist, Anne Farley Gaines, is a mixed-media painter, and muralist who also works in sculpture media and will bring several examples of works she has created. Gaines' works are mostly nature-based, some are architectural. 

She will encourage attendees in the workshop to begin their works in an abstract manner to obtain a strong sense of form before adding any detail.  A list of materials will be given to all who sign up. There will be space for 20 attendees. 

She has used this technique in various maquettes created for public works, which also become art pieces. Through a demonstration of this technique at the beginning, she hopes to inspire all who sign up to find their "voice" using the disparate materials she will be using.

Materials: Some materials will be provided, but some participants will be asked to bring additional materials in a provided materials list.
