Not sure what to do with those “ooops” watercolor or multimedia paintings that you are
not quite happy with? Create colorful collages using your own watercolor paintings. The
instructor will guide you to arrange your trimmings and torn pieces of watercolor paper
into whimsical landscapes representing birds in the marsh, seascapes and imaginative
abstracts! Up-cycle discarded paintings and scraps, repaint and use your imagination to
turn trash into treasure.
