Everyone knows Gustav Klimt’s “Woman in Gold”. But Klimt was famous for making many repetitive designs filled with swirls and gold and texture. In this class we will work on two different ways to design our masterpieces and will work with gold leaf, raised gold lines, mica paints, stencils, and more. You can work in watercolor or acrylic (or collage, gouache, pastel, and maybe even oil) and we will be combining different media in our work.
In the first class, we will become familiar with Klimt’s designs and those of other artists, then practice some techniques. In the second class, we will compose our designs and begin our backgrounds. The last two classes we will make our visions come to life. You should have a good knowledge of how your chosen medium works.
