Life can be so confusing! As youngsters, we were all told to "color within the lines". Then, as we grew older, we were told "think outside the lines". Now you have the opportunity to revert to those younger days as you join Cindy Kovack for another exciting Workshop in creating your own intriguing collage all contained within a limited space! Each student will be provided an 8"x8" wood box, then create a free-form collage within its interior. Cindy will provide pieces of ephemera to decorate your art piece, but you may want to bring along small bits and pieces that will bring your piece to life or anything that's special to you and might inspire you, helping to make your piece unique. Once you've created your collage, you'll learn to combine acrylic paints with a medium to achieve the perfect stain to finish it off which will work on wood, fabric, or paper. You'll also learn the how-to's of forming a collage concept, how to select complementary colors, staining techniques, and accenting with minimalistic ephemera. Seating will be limited, so call early to save your space!
