Discover the possibilities of using collage in loose, expressive mixed media art with us as we create a dynamic watercolor and ink painting of winter botanicals!

In this relaxing, creative class, Heather will share techniques for using watercolor, ink, and collage to create paintings alive with texture. We’ll begin by creating our own collage papers with expressive abstract watercolor. After forming the basic structure of our compositions through cut paper collage, we’ll then use both watercolor and ink to add movement and depth to our mixed media paintings.

Perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists alike, this class will help you loosen up your approach to painting and learn how to use texture as a tool for creating compelling pieces. In the process, we’ll also discuss some basic techniques for using watercolor washes, creating color schemes that work, and designing strong compositions using the various materials at our disposal. All necessary materials will be provided, but you’re also welcome to bring your own reference photos and/or art supplies to practice if desired. You’ll leave not only with a beautiful finished painting, but also with lots of ideas to continue the fun on your own!

Come join us for a time of joyful creating as we explore exciting ways to combine texture with watercolor and ink!
