Creating a Painting with Collage and Mixed Media Classes

Want to try your hand at painting? Thought you could only use oils, water mediums or pastels? In this class learn to make your own papers and to use mixed media materials such as acrylics, markers, gels and your unique hand-made papers to create a fine art piece of your choice. Use photos or your own sketches for inspiration and choose a canvas or panel of any size to work on. Bring these items to the first class.
