Everyone loves birds! Simple shapes and bold colors are what we focus on when learning how to collage songbirds and blooms. I will teach you how to transfer a sketch from your reference photo, create a comprehensive underpainting with shading and a background, how to gel print your own papers, and how to apply collage! At the end of this three day workshop, you will have the skills and confidence to create your own Paper Painting.
This workshop is a comprehensive class in which students are taught a unique figurative collage technique. Emphasis will be on developing form using light, shadow, and directional ripping– very similar to traditional painting techniques. No prior collage experience is necessary. Some painting experience would be helpful, but not imperative.
PLUS join my private facebook group for students where you may upload your work for comments and suggestions from over 650 forrmer Paper Paintings students!
