Workshop description:

In this 3-day workshop, we will experiment with different techniques (monotype, collage, frottage, mixed media). We will dare to try something new, away from "I've always done it this way" to "what other possibilities are there...".

We will start by discussing some of the basics of illustration (such as character design, storyboard...), as well as different approaches depending on the medium we want to illustrate. We will then work on our own illustration project. We will be inspired by the unexpected and the joy of experimentation. Together we will look for answers to the questions of which technique suits me and my topic, and what I want to convey to myself and others with my illustration.

Wir bedanken uns bei der Ölmühle Fandler für die Gastfreund-schaft und den schönen Raum, der uns als Atelier für diesen Workshop zur Verfügung gestellt wird.

Please bring along:

Pencils, coloured pencils, eraser, sharpener, small scissors, cutter, ruler, brushes, watercolour paint, coloured pencils, water cup, paper, firm cardboard as a cutting base, collage material such as magazines.
