Watercolor Collage with Freda Lee McCann (June 20, 2018)
All Levels
Workshop Supply List
This class includes all levels from beginners to advanced artists. By doing collage, one learns to become more expressive beyond one’s comfort zone. The project can help the artists explore new design, color, texture, and style. One can introduce something new by using either an old discarded painting or a clean paper, and collage over part of it with patterns or color paper, then paint on top of it to integrate and resolve the painting.

In my work I try to depict the tranquility and peace I see and feel in nature. I am interested in both eastern and western art, so though my works are out of the Chinese tradition, they reflect a distinctly western influence.”
