WORKSHOP - Paper Paintings with Elizabeth St. Hilaire February 22-24, 2017, 10AM – 4PM

Elizabeth will teach her unique figurative collage style. $395.00

Participants will truly enjoy splattering, stamping, printing, dry brushing crumpling and staining papers; and will explore hand painting their own papers with a variety of techniques. Appropriate papers include old books pages, maps, personal ephemera, rice paper and store bought art papers. Hand painted papers will then be applied over an under-painting (done at home as class preparation) in a painterly manner. Collage will be demonstrated through viewing slides of St. Hilaire’s work as well as a hands-on demonstration in class. The emphasis will be on developing form using light, shadow, and directional ripping, very similar to traditional painting techniques. No prior collage experience is necessary.

Meticulously torn bits of hand-painted papers, delicately put together, form the exceptionally vibrant collages created by internationally-known artist Elizabeth St. Hilaire. A full-time artist who earned Signature Member status with the National Collage Society, Elizabeth crisscrosses the country several times a year to take her painted paper tidbits on the road. Teaching and sharing her collage technique through an intense three-day Paper Paintings workshop has become a passion.
