Watercolor and Collage – A Match Made in Heaven,

with Miriam Hughes

April 2 (10 AM-3 PM ET) 2022

Saturday, April 2nd (10am-3pm ET) 2022

In this workshop we will learn how to revive, recreate and even start new watercolors, by adding collage elements to our paintings. We will also discuss how to recover from mistakes, either fixing them or incorporating them into your work. For beginners create watercolor sketches and learn how to go further with collage!

For those who have worked in watercolor, do you have a pile of watercolors where something just did not work, but you hate to throw it away? Or are you often faced with the decision to “do more” with a painting, but aren’t sure what more could be?

Watercolor is the perfect medium to mix with collage using a variety of exotic, handmade papers. We will incorporate papers from a variety of sources from old lottery tickets, newspapers, wrapping papers and even labels from our favorite (or not so favorite foods). Start collecting now and bring some of you own papers, however this workshop includes supplies and paper from Miriam’s treasure trove.

All levels of experience will enjoy this workshop and if you don’t have a stockpile of questionable work, we will create some pieces in class as your starting point!
