You will learn:

• the different styles of magazine collage and how they impact the look of your collage

• how to tackle challenges regarding animal's fur types and coloring

• the process of working on the collage from start to finish

• things to consider when adding images of objects in your art

• how I create the nose and eyes

• how to add custom words or dates

• how to protect your collage when finished

• what I write on the back and how I frame my collages

Throughout the course, you will get tips and suggestions that will help you with your portrait.  What you learn can be applied to any subject of your choosing beyond animals.

This course is designed for those who have taken my Intro Class or who have had previous experience working with magazine paper in their artwork.  If you have questions about what magazines to use or how to work with the paper, please see my Intro Class.
