Notes: You will be collaging and painting and learning Annie's methods to take off and add to your own style and methods. I will bring plenty of extra superb collage pieces to fill in areas, so no worries. I will also bring a wax crock pot. If you pre-select the collage for class and organize by color-patterned paper, flat items you've been saving, only bring the best, keep it simple, less than 5 collage pieces per surface to paint on.
