Marlene Gremillion
Watercolor - Collage and Mixed Media Painting

All levels
Studio
5 Day class (9am-4pm)
Tuition: $275
Materials: $14

This is a fun workshop where students color Oriental papers and let them dry. Then these papers are cut and torn into a composition using design principles and gluing them to a support of watercolor paper. Working experimentally and intuitively by reacting to the textures created, students will pull the composition together completing the abstract collage that has a focal area by adding extra touches with mixed media; such as colored pencils, oil pastels, water media paint (transparent and opaque), lifting, scratching, collaging, and rearranging, or whatever it takes to make a good finished piece.
