This workshop is perfect for artists looking to grow as landscape collage painters. You will finish the course with the skills and knowledge for creating your own hand-painted papers and collaging water, reflections, greenery, skies, mountains.
Students will work from a provided reference photo of the Sedona Red Rocks and Oak Creek. You may bring an alternate landscape photo of your choice, although I think it’s helpful to learn from fellow students using the same reference image.
