This pen and ink design was created from a photo of a birdhouse I purchased at a local craft show in Michigan. I thought the license plate fashioned into a roof was a clever and unique idea. Upon taking this home and finding just the right spot to display it in the front garden walkway, I grabbed my camera and snapped a few photos to later use in designing this into a project. This class will take you step by step through the processes I use to create my designs from photos. This is a full day project involving the inking with an oil overlay that is rouged on after sealing the design with several coats of Matte Spray. Beginner level, lots of extras included in the class. Design is adapted to an 11" x 14" stretched canvas, but could easily be done on an alternative surface choice [included in this portfolio]. I will demonstrate how I used an opaque projector to develop photos and pictures from magazines into designs. Requirements for this class are listed on the surface prep sheets.
