Styrian Summer Art: When Words Grow into Pictures – Illustration |Michael Roher
General Information
Workshop Description:
Pick up text impulses and translate them into images, experiment with techniques like monotype, collage, or transfer printing, or freely draw in playful settings: This workshop offers diverse opportunities for anyone who wants to paint, draw, and print in a creative atmosphere and explore the broad field of illustration.
Each of the three days, you will learn at least one technique that you can try out in a subsequent working phase based on a text impulse. Additionally, you will gain insights into essential aspects of the art of illustration and image composition, as well as professional support in implementing your ideas.
