Collage from Scratch: tons of techniques for creating your own unique collage papers

Anyone can make a collage with magazine pages, but for a collage to be uniquely yours, you can paint and decorate your own papers from scratch. This class will give you lots of ideas for ways to do just that. I'll demonstrate how to make fun and interesting textures with watercolor and acrylic, printing, stencils, and pens as well as share some more unusual materials like crackle medium, glued tissue paper and alcohol inks. Finally, I'll show how I put my collage together.
