In this 1 day workshop, we will explore the power of memory and nostalgia through the vehicle of collage and water-based paints (acrylic, watercolor, and gouache). We will begin the class with the idea of memories whether from childhood, adulthood or dreams, and what that means to you while looking through magazines, books, newspapers, catalogs, and printed materials. Using water-based paints, we will create a base or background color(s) that will connect the collected images around a memory, or a place of nostalgia. Compositions can be referential, abstract, or surreal. Instruction will be given on how to adhere collage on panel along with finishing touches and best framing practices.
