Fred B Mullett Workshops
Workshops at Guadalupe's Fun Rubber Stamps
Each workshop is $85 or all three for $190

Spritz Me, Baby… Mo’Bettah! Diffused Watercolor Effects
September 10, 9AM – Noon $85 Limited to 12
Finding merit in the “less is more” concept and the power of imprecision, this class focuses on the soluble properties of markers and other water-based media to achieve watercolor effects using rubber stamps. Bleaching out imagery on black paper, then re-introducing color with high contract accents is also tackled to achieve startling effects.

Workshop includes handouts and a large supply of instructor- provided supplies. Raincoats are optional. (Just kidding!)

Chlorine bleach is used in this class. Due to the caustic nature of this chemical, students are STRONGLY warned of the hazards! Suggested safety materials include – but not limited to – latex gloves, a work apron and eye protection. Remember to take care, and to look out for those around you and their property, and the property of the sponsoring institution for this class.

What to Bring
In addition to the above safety items bring your favorite broad-tipped water-based markers in a wide range of values (light, medium, and dark). Your favorite Fred B. Mullett stamps, though many will be provided.

The Elegant Mess
September 11, 9AM – Noon, $85, Limited to 12

A veritable food fight of a class! Where the spontaneous meets the specific. Where the positive meets the negative/ And where leftovers go to play. We will fiddle around with principles of figure/ground relationships as we integrate sprayed color washes and splattered paint, collage, stencils, and stamps on Oriental and watercolor paper with remarkable results. Suitable for small or large format work, this visual playtime will add miles to artistic efforts! Includes handouts and a large supply of instructor-provided supplies.

Cutting matt (ideally larger than 3”x4” and smaller than 9”x12”)
Xacto or craft knife (not scissors)
Metal ruler or straight edge for cutting straight lines
At least 6 Luminarte Twinking H2O’s or one of the US Art Quest PearEx round palettes. Add water to these the day prior to class – they need to be goopy. This is Important!) Color selection is up to the student.
