Instructor: Mary Alice Braukman
Mary Alice's
workshops are an adventure in risk-taking and pushing the medium as far as it
will go. One goal is to explore new ideas in mixed water media and collage, and
to show visual growth in your art through self expression.
Your unresolved paintings will be revived and recycled when you ask, the
question “What If . . .?” This could mean completely revising you’re painting
or using it in a collage piece. That is the fun part of painting - that is
designing!
Whether working
abstractly or representational each painter will be encouraged to find his or
her unique and personal direction. We
will explore layering of experimental mediums, photo transfers, and collage in
depth striving for results that go beyond obvious techniques and leave people
wondering how you created such a gem.

Collage
is a medium that is continually transforming, subsiding, leaping into unexplored
areas, and growing. Artists explore abstract, representational,
semiabstract and nonobjective imagery through a variety of collage
techniques.
