Have you ever wanted to learn how to create fine art collage? Or have you tried collage before and been frustrated by wrinkles, buckling, and having your work fall apart once its dry?

Then join me in my studio as I teach you how to create minimalist collage from hand-painted paper. From painting the paper to completing your own finished works of art, you’ll learn techniques that make collaging fun, easy, and successful. You don't need to have any prior artistic experience to take this class. Here are a couple of things you will learn:

  • How to choose a color palette for your art
  • My favorite materials for successful collaging
  • How to paint a supply of paper for use in this project and future projects
  • How to avoid common collaging issues with my techniques
  • Two different methods for designing your artwork layout

Once you get started with painting paper and collaging, you might not want to stop. I've taught this class to adults and young children - both artists and self-proclaimed non-creatives. The thing that I hear over and over is how fun and easy it is to make something cool with these techniques. And once you learn them you can go on to create all sorts of mixed media projects, sketchbooks or greeting cards.
