A creative clop afternoon.

Several times I had seen a mixed media workshop on the Klup app. But I always had the bad luck that either the date didn't come out or the activity was already fully booked. But this Saturday was the time.
Upon entering, my gaze is immediately drawn to a good example. But don't look too much, because every piece of work becomes different and I would like to let the inspiration come from myself.
Our hostess has already finished everything. An unfolded pizza box for everyone, this will be our canvas. She works in a big, especially thick book.
Step by step she's going to guide us through the creative process.
We start pasting a background.

In the first picture you'll see my beginning, a few pages from a regular book and pieces from a music book and some more pink paper. My fellow kluppers started with very different colors. It's nice to see what's going on.

With gesso we make everything softer and less pronounced. 

Maybe you can tell that I used a palette knife for that.

Next step: we choose three colors of acrylic paint. 

I like that palette knife.


But with a brush it's also fine.

It's really nice to continue working with templates. There is a choice of a whole stack. Butterflies and roses I choose among others.
