About this lesson
A collage artist and teacher describes the paper-making techniques from her art center classes: palette-knife acrylic with etched lines, reverse drawings made by oil paint transfer on waxy paper, stenciled gel plate prints, and marble painting. The aim is to build a personal stock of collage papers, and the post includes short interviews with other collage artists.
