Welcome to my second Über*Media Workshop:
Sign Ups are closed right now for this class- the class will reopen again in appr. April 2012 again
Über*Media Gesso
If you have troubles watching this video in this format – you can also see it here: ( I will always provide two options 
)
In this Gesso online workshop we will start with the basics of Gesso and in five lessons over five weeks we will make our way up to more complicated techniques.
Those pictures are samples of my work using gesso – you will see new things I will share with you my favorite Gesso techniques.
Each of the first four lessons will end with a tutorial for two artjournal pages showing the learned techniques.
In week five I will show you how several of the learned techniques can be combined and used on a project whether it be a scrapbooking page or an altered art project. (it will be not the one shown below 
)
During the fun workshop lessons you will also learn a lot about all kinds of materials, mixed media, layering, how to create texture and design principles. I will share with you why I’m doing things, how I got the idea and what works and what doesn’t seem to work.
I will also set up a flickr gallery for sharing your work so that we all can see it and have a group to chat about the work and see it!
How this workshop works:
Each week I will post new videos and a downloadable text-only- PDF that covers the essentials of the videos on a private and password protected page.
We will start on Sunday, January 15th, 2012. I will always post at around 6pm (18.00) Central European Time (noon EST) .
Then on the following weeks each Sunday I will add the next lesson. You can ask questions in the comment section for all to see.
You can work at your own pace and the workshop will be available here for you to play until July 31st, 2012. After this date the password will be changed.

You can buy it by clicking on the button below.
You will receive an email with the confirmation and password in the next 48 hours after I received the payment. Please keep this information so you have it ready when the first lesson goes online.
Please note that you - by signing up to the workshop – agree that you will under no circumstances will pass on the password that is going to be sent out to you. After I sent out the password you can’t cancel anymore. Please only sign up when you are able to see the video above- as this will be the way all videos are posted. some older computers seem to have a problem with it and I will not be able to trouble shoot if your computer is not showing it, because my technique knowledge is beyond that!
What you need:
Gesso – any brand – we will mostly use white Gesso
I will also show you some things with black and clear gesso – but you do not have to have it – you can do most of those things also with the white Gesso.
Paint media – there is no rule: Whether Acrylic Paints, Spray Paints, Neo Colors, Pan Pastels – you can try whatever you want with the techniques we talk about. I will tell you a variety of possibilities of which paint media you can use.
All other supplies are optional- we will talk about substitutes if that occurs, I assume that most things I will use are generic or at least easy to replace. This workshop is about you taking the techniques and adjust them to your own materials, media in the house and style – not about copying with exactly the same supplies – although you are free to do so if you want

What others had to say about my Über*Media Workshops:
Martha Richardson, USA:
Nathalie’s workshop introduced me to techniques using PanPastels, an art medium that I had never used before. To be able to concentrate on just one art medium allowed me to gain knowledge that I can use over & over again. I highly recommend taking an online workshop with Nathalie. I will be signing up for the next in the series of her workshops!
Carmen Sanchez, Spain:
“Über*Media PanPastels workshop has been so much fun. Nathalie knows how to make things amusing. The workshop covers lots of different uses for PanPastels in the mixed media field. The videos and pdf files are very useful and descriptive. The sample projects are so creative. Also the timing is great. You have plenty of time to play and practice in between classes and Nathalie is always willing to help and answer your doubts. I’d totally recommend it”
