What to Expect:
What is the definition of a drawing? Combine experimental processes and materials with traditional drawing mediums for a unique mixed media approach. Create imagery by merging traditional and unconventional drawing techniques, with artist Alma Sinai guiding you step by step on this journey.
Alma will share techniques and concepts that she uses in her own studio practice, opening to the door to your own personal exploration. Themes Alma will introduce include composition, observation and training visual memory. Learn techniques for leaving impressions and traces on paper.
Some of the mediums and topics during these hybrid sessions:
- mono-printing with found objects such as nets, sponges…
- collage elements – found material or own drawings
- composition – finding unity with contrasting materials
- traditional drawing mediums: pencil, pen, graphite, ink, etc…
The workshop suits all levels from beginners to people with more experience.

This approach to image making includes free association, randomness and chance and a fascination with the subconscious.
