Cyclone Art Studio is holding workshops by the esteemed Michael Cutlip and Heather Wilcoxon this February 2015.

MICHAEL CUTLIP
MIXED MEDIA/COLLAGE WORKSHOP
$180
Saturday, 10am to 4 pm
2/7/15

Micheal Cutlip is a mixed media painter extraordinaire. A recent exhibition of
Cutlip's at K. Imperial Fine Art in San Francisco was reviewed by SF Chronicle's
Art Critic Kenneth Baker. Baker said "Adhering collage elements to panels on
which he can also paint, Cutlip gives just the right heft to his compositions, a
balancing act that many who work in this vein never perfect." Cutlip is
represented by several nationwide fine art galleries. Cutlip is preparing to
demonstrate a wealth of collage techniques and students will have the
opportunity to work on four works on panel under Cutlip's sage mixed-media
tutelage. This is a mixed media workshop with an emphasis on collage, image
transfer (Xerox) and the use of paint. There will be demos on collage
technique, image transfer with gel medium, and a unique finishing process
that gives a sort of patina using oils. However, the freedom of the process
will be encouraged. No set rules will be in place. Our goal will be for the
artwork to take its own path…one move will lead to the next.

The use of the found object will also be encouraged. We will discuss the
dangers of working with multiple mediums and how to bring all the elements
together into one harmonious vision.
