Collage & Watercolour Landscapes with Wendy Welch
About This Experience
Join Wendy Welch and learn how to use the spontaneity and surprise of collage to create exciting watercolours. The focus will be on creating geological landscapes comprised of striations in the earth. Using collage, you will discover a range of colours, patterns and textures you would not think of on your own. Basic collage techniques will be covered, as well as how to translate collage into an expressive watercolour painting.
