Course description
Create papers, in your own colors and designs, to be used for collage, mixed media, and art journals in this fun class. 5 Techniques are shown, with each one taking less than 5 minutes per page to complete. Each technique uses a humble kitchen sponge, that we will alter, to create our unique tool. We’ll make prints using acrylic paint and tissue papers, to create thin pages that can adhered using gel medium, glue, or another adhesive to make collaged pages.
This class focuses on 5 techniques, all using the same supplies:
1. Standard Shaped Sponge
2. Custom Shaped Sponge
3. Combing Technique & 3A Hatching Technique
4. Crinkling
Folded Paper Technique & 5A Additional Folds Technique
Variations are endless - choose your colors, to combine colors, the depth of color, the amount of paint, the shape of the sponge. These techniques are addictive, so you’ll soon find yourself building a collaged paper stash.
