Lilla adds: “I’m going to be serving up some bite-size art-making recipes. It’s going to be a visual delight that I’ve curated especially for you. I want you to break out the traditional media and try it out because there’s nothing like it and it will absolutely amp up the quality of your work. You can either join me and work along with me – I’ve shared some of the materials I’ll be using in the image above – or just watch to pick up notes, tips and ideas.”

Spring Break Art Camp: day 1

Lilla says: “Day 1 is all about traditional media. Think of these as art cocktails: I’m going to give you little tiny cocktail recipes that you can mix in your own way. We’re going to play with gouache and make some blobs before adding colored pencils and pens. We’re going to use a dip pen and some thick black ink on top, along with a little gold metallic.”

Spring Break Art Camp: day 2

Lilla told us: “Day 2 is all about colors and florals, falling in love with florals and making color stories. I have some gorgeous vintage products that we’re going to riff off and vibe off, using them to inspire our color choices. Today is going to be particularly good for anyone interested in decorating journal pages, amping up arty book pages, scenes for children’s books, and art-driven toys and games.”

Spring Break Art Camp: day 3

Lilla told us: “On Day 3 we’re going to accessorise your picture: adding borders and swirls and decoration, or what I call bonuses or frills. I have a pamphlet from the late 1800s that you’re going to love that has the most beautiful swirls and swashes and bits and pieces that we’re going to study and learn from.”
