Are you ready to learn how to take colorful patterned and textured paper and turn them into a one of a kind gorgeous piece of art? Would you like to learn a very achievable technique that can be replicated over and over? If you answered yes to these questions, we have just the course for you!
Patti Euler has brought one of her favorite projects here to Create Arts Online and we are thrilled to share it with you! Patti’s “Strip Club” online course may not be known for its pole dancing, but it is definitely known for the “bling” and sparkle and all that comes with it.
In this course you will learn:
- Patti’s favorite substrate and how to prep it
- How make your own unique collage-like paper
- How to add gold leafing
- How to make your own pulled paint paper
- Stamping and mark-making on your paper
- Choosing your paper palette
- How to easily and successfully cut the strips
- How to select the strips based on color, balance, and composition
- Patti’s technique for adhering the strips straight to fit the substrate
- How to add final details that give the piece a finished look
This course is for any level of artist and can be created on any size substrate. No two “Strip Club” works will ever look the same, yet they can make great decor in single, diptych, or triptych displays.
Patti has taught this technique at her in-person studio for years, and now is your chance to learn her tried and true methods for creating a very vibrant and unique piece of art. Now, let’s get stripping!
