The elements of design and composition will be discussed\, and several collages will be developed\, with the end result a collage to be used for a painting. On day 2 you will receive a printed sketch of your collage\, to create an abstract watercolor painting. This is not a class for beginning watercolor painters; although you will learn watercolor techniques\, it will be assumed you have painting experience\, as I will not be teaching the basics of watercolor. On the first day\, along with discussion of design elements\, I will have samples of abstracts as well as doing demonstrations. At the end of the day\, each student will decide which collage they wish to use in order to create a painting\, I will take photos of each one and return with a line drawing on day two\, so the student can paint from the line drawing to create a painting. On the second day I will demonstrate how to paint from a photo of your collage\, taking you step-by-step through the process\, with individualized instruction. Each day of class\, students should come with all materials used to create their collage and to paint in watercolor. I will have plenty of extra paper for collage\, glue sticks and mat medium.

The elements of design and composition will be discussed\, and several collages will be developed\, with the end result a collage to be used for a painting. On day 2 you will receive a printed sketch of your collage\, to create an abstract watercolor painting. This is not a class for beginning watercolor painters; although you will learn watercolor techniques\, it will be assumed you have painting experience\, as I will not be teaching the basics of watercolor. On the first day\, along with discussion of design elements\, I will have samples of abstracts as well as doing demonstrations. At the end of the day\, each student will decide which collage they wish to use in order to create a painting\, I will take photos of each one and return with a line drawing on day two\, so the student can paint from the line drawing to create a painting. On the second day I will demonstrate how to paint from a photo of your collage\, taking you step-by-step through the process\, with individualized instruction. Each day of class\, students should come with all materials used to create their collage and to paint in watercolor. I will have plenty of extra paper for collage\, glue sticks and mat medium.
