This is where painting meets collage! You can create beautiful art with amazing depth and texture, using easy collage techniques and paper you paint yourself. Popular workshop instructor Elizabeth St. Hilaire makes it fun and simple no matter what your skill level! Start with materials you probably already have–fluid acrylics, stencils, a few household items and paper–and hand-paint your personalized paper palette using basic techniques anyone can do.
