Jessica Barber, Mixed Media Artist/Printmaker
About
I specialize in teaching a mixed media approach to painting, teaching students how to combine different processes and materials. Some media that I can expose students to are: printmaking (monotype, intaglio, lithography, relief), soft pastels, oil pastels, charcoal, and oil sticks.
In addition to instruction in fundamentals (drawing, painting, one-point/two-point perspective, still life, etc), nature-based workshops are also lessons I can offer
