Description
Introduction
Our D&H Technique teaches participants to create not only realistic mosaics, but also mosaics with artistry and finesse. This technique teaches you new skills that will greatly enhance the way you look at a subject and apply these skills to the level of ‘fine art’. It can truly be called ‘painting with glass’. Many of the participants in our courses tell us that what they have learnt has been a ‘life-changing experience’, and that they will be able to apply their new skills to everything they create in the future. This course would suit the serious mosaic artist, and will take time, commitment and passion to master. For that reason, it will not be suitable for beginners, or for those who wish to add a quick and easy technique to their repertoire.
We offer the D&H Technique to learn how to create amazingly realistic, high level portraits in glass mosaic. We give step by step instruction on creating eyes that show depth and expression. The mouth is also extremely important to show character. Contouring of the nose and face are demonstrated, along with correct choice of colours. Our signature technique for forming hair will also be a focus for this course. If you follow our instructions, you will produce the most realistic mosaic you ever though possible.
Course program for 6 weeks:
Every week the day before the zoom meeting we will share with you on a messenger group the information of the week’s course in videos and the next day during the zoom meeting we will answer your questions about each part of the course and you will have time to work.
Out portrait classes take place at 12:00 noon on a Sunday in our city (Melbourne – AEST) For participants in the US, Canada and Europe, this is on the previous day, Saturday evening. You can use the World Clock app on your phone to verify the correct time in your time zone. We will send reminders well before classes begin.
