March 25, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Join Friends of Bushwick Inlet Park for an afternoon of painting & cut paper collaging with local gardener, artist & card designer Llubav.
Llubav is a member of the Java Street Community Garden in Greenpoint, a neighborhood of north Brooklyn, NY. The plants from her plot and around the garden are often the subjects of many of her paintings and greeting cards. She is also inspired from her trips to other gardens like Wave Hill in NYC and her travels to the South West.
She will share her tips and techniques in creating her beautiful and whimsical designs. We will hand paint on different types of papers using a mix of tempera, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, crayons and colored pencils (or whatever else you might want to bring). Once we have created a mixture of colorful and textured raw materials, we will then cut and make shapes which will be glued to a larger sheet of paper or cardstock to create a unique and playful collage.
No experience necessary. Registration required.
*Meet inside the park building.
Suggested Supplies:
- Paper or Tissue Paper you might want to use
- Scissors (comfortable size to cut small shapes)
- Big and medium sized brushes
- Elmers liquid glue, paste or glue stick
- Colored Paints (Acrylic, Guache, Tempera, Watercolor)
Children 14 and over (high school students) are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
