The Background Layers Workshop introduces you to the essential first step in any artwork—the initial color or texture layer applied to a surface such as canvas or paper. This base serves as the visual and structural foundation upon which the main elements—like figures, shapes, or fine details—are built.
Whether you're using color washes, textured materials, gesso, or collaged paper, this layer plays a critical role in setting the mood, depth, and tone of the artwork. It's where creativity begins before the focal elements take shape.
🌟 What You’ll Learn:
- How to apply foundational layers using various materials
- Techniques to add mood, depth, and visual texture
- How background layers influence the final composition
- Best practices with gesso, paper, and mixed media for stunning results
This workshop is ideal for artists of all levels looking to strengthen their compositions from the ground up.
