ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

Learn to use simple, found-materials for collage and create zesty backgrounds for your paintings that create interest and excitement for painting the most every-day subjects as well as abstracts. This mixed-media workshop will focus on the benefits and know-how of working with various watermedia to create exciting pattern and texture on his/her 
favorite painting surface. The morning will be dedicated to learning to use these materials as an inspirational springboard to a new painting and the afternoon will reveal ways water media can save a stalled or uninspired painting.

​
