WHAT WILL WE DO IN THIS TUTORIAL?

1
Study all steps of this technique
In addition to the well-known author's acrylic painting techniques, Svetlana Rumak created a rather unusual author's collage technique.

In this video master class, Svetlana will show a few simple "tricks" that organically combine and complement each other and create a gentle, unusual, like a "vintage" picture.

During the tutorial, Svetlana creates a picture on paper, but this technique can be used both on paper and on canvas.

2
Create one art work on paper in this technique and practice all the tricks
The lesson is suitable for artists of any skill level.

During the lesson, Svetlana shows the techniques step by step all in a very simple way. Even if you do not know how to draw or paint at all, you can easily create a beautiful and interesting picture.

A feature of this technique is that the work is done using a variety of collage techniques and is complemented by a minimum of painting and drawing. More experienced artists may add more painting and/or drawing to the painting.

3
For kids:
In our experience, this master class is suitable for children from 8 years old. Of course, this depends on several factors - the perseverance of the child, his desire to learn new technique, etc.

For younger children, we recommend simplifying some steps of the techniques and the presence of an adult during the lesson.

THIS TUTORIAL WILL BE USEFUL AND INTERESTING...

A beginner, an amateur or a pro, but if you are one of those for whom "canvas, oil", or acrylic, or watercolor is too familiar, and therefore boring "classics" — welcome to the "club of lovers of mixed techniques"!))

Svetlana will make you fall in love with mixed techniques!

If you are a beginner, you will be able to discover an incredible space for experiments without spending a lot of time, colors and, most importantly, nerves!)))

The lesson is also perfect
for professional artists who have worked with other materials before, but are in search of unusual "chips" and techniques!))


Techniques from this tutorial are perfectly mixed with techniques from other lessons on Svetlana's mixed techniques.

Creative crisis, fear of the white sheet, "tortured" work or "zero ideas" in the head... Such problems are familiar to both amateurs and experienced artists.

All this gives rise to fears, the lightness and pleasure of the creative process are lost.

It's time to change that!

For 10 years, we have received hundreds of reviews that Svetlana's techniques "magically" excite the imagination and give a lot of pleasure and drive from the process and the result!

For beginners and non-professional artists
Even if you recently picked up a brush for the first time, don't worry, you will succeed too!

The lesson program is designed in such a way that even beginners achieve amazing results!

Firstly, the whole technique is divided into several very simple, understandable steps. Secondly, Svetlana will not use complex professional terms.

The information is presented in an accessible form, Svetlana shows each technique and stage several times with detailed comments.
For those who seek inspiration and ease in creativity

For those who want to learn unusual mix technique

MATERIALS and tools
FOR this masterclass
Whatman or drawing paper
For this technique, I use an ordinary A3-sized watman stretched on a tablet.

I like hardboard tablets more than plywood – it seems to me that plywood warp more and it can deform from moisture over time.

Whatman is ideal for this technique with all its characteristics – white, dense, smooth, while cheap and affordable.

Don't worry If you can't buy a real watman "goznak" where you live! Try buy a paper with similar characteristics.

Try, test, experiment and do not forget to share the results of your experiments in a closed group of the lesson – I think it will be interesting for everyone!
Acrylic paints

In the work on this technique, I use acrylic.

The quality of acrylic for those simple techniques that I show in the lesson does not matter. But if you want to add more painting techniques to your work, then I recommend choosing acrylic for artwork.

Choose titanium whitewash. You can try any artistic acrylic, and a beautiful shade of gray can be mixed using white, black and light ochre.

One way to add more color to the work is to use colored acrylic.

Brushes

You will need brushes of different widths made of synthetic hair.

Sometimes I like to "dig around" with very small details and then use the thinnest brushes, for example, No. 0/3.

Pay attention to the fact that the brush hair is not too long, the brush should be elastic, this is very important for performing some techniques.

Watercolor pencils

You will need watercolor pencils: gray and black. Of course, if you want to add more color to your work, then you can do it, including using colored pencils.

4 бренда, качественных акварельных карандашей:

1. Cretacolor, линия Marino.
Мой самый любимый серый карандаш – Dark Grey из этой линии – он даёт мягкий нейтральный серый, очень похожий на графит, но при этом совсем нет специфического «графитового» блеска. Все мои работы в этой технике сделаны именно таким карандашом.

2. Faber Castell, линия Albrecht Durer.
Рекомендую из этой линии чёрный карандаш №199 – он даёт густой, насыщенный, «бархатный» чёрный цвет.

3. Derwent, линия Watercolour.

4. Koh-I-Noor.

You will need:
Other materials

* Small palette knife (about 3 cm).
* Container with water to wash the brushes.
* Napkins or paper towels.
* Apron.
* Tablecloth, film or sheet of paper - to protect the surface of the table from paint.
* Paper and pen for notes.
