Chris Cozen Workshop

I was SO fortunate to have been able to take classes with Chris Cozen from Golden Paint Company . . . it has been on my WISH LIST for a long time! I was in AWE of her knowledge of the Golden products and what they can do for you as well as her gift at mixed media art . . . the first piece is my only "finished" piece learning to use Golden paints . . . glazing liquid . . . collage . . . stamping . . . transfers . . . stencilling . . . it was a lot to absorb in a 6-hour class, but I LOVED it!!!!! The following three pieces were practice pieces learning to use the materials and techniques!!

The second class I took involved using the new Golden Open Acrylics which allow the artist a greater period of moving the paint before it dries . . . it felt so smooth in the application . . . it was amazing!!!! This piece uses Golden Tar Gel which gave me a clear layer to work on . . . it's also "stringy" in texture which is totally fun to work with!

The next of the samples show how to use acrylics to look like watercolors . . .
The following is a sample of painting on top of dried Golden Absorbant Ground . . .

The next two pieces are paint on Golden Molding Paste . . .

The following shows a resist we were able to do with the mediums . . .

If you ever get a chance to take a class with Chris Cozen . . . I highly recommend it! I learned SO much in such a fun, nurturing atmosphere . . . Chris Cozen currently has two incredible books out . . . Altered Surfaces and Transfers and Altered Images . . . I highly recommend them, as well . . .

Have fun everybody!!!!!!!
