Floral Textile Design & Painting with Kim Parker

Floral Textile Design & Painting with Kim Parker

Date:  Saturday October 18 | 2-3:30 PM  

Location: SCAHC Spring Street Gallery – 133 Spring Street | Newton, NJ 07860

In this art class, we will create a floral decorative vase with an intricate surface design pattern -containing a flowering plant or bouquet with gouache! An actual prop will be on view in the class to assist students as a visual reference. We will explore the various elements of a successful textile design, which includes an understanding of rhythm, movement, color, scale and forms. Gouache has a rich color saturation and can have both an opaque or translucent quality depending on its application which we will explore.
