Collage with Mel Grunau
October 15 (Saturday) 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM

Ages 21 and above, $30 per participant

Rec Center Room 1

Surprise yourself and have fun with painting.  Try different approaches, media and techniques. Learn to look at the world around you with new eyes.  We will create a realistic/impressionistic still life or landscape using collage and watercolor or acrylic.  Crayons, pastels, pencils, pens and anything else that makes a mark may also be used along with thin collage materials.  Choose to do the same subject in abstract format or compose something from your imagination.  There are no rules in this workshop.  The instructor will bring samples.  You may follow the demonstration given at the start or do your own thing.  The supply list below is only a guideline, these supplies are not mandatory.
