Razzle-Dazzle Rectangles
$135
Gail Russakov

Student Level: All levels

Spend the day creating this grid of textured rectangles in YOUR choice of decorator colors. We will combine a selection of magazine images, and assorted textured papers which we will cut, paste, and alter in a five step process to create your very own original masterpiece. This class will offer you a new collage technique to add to your altered books, journal techniques and on your ATCs. This is a resist technique that lets you alter the magazine colors and images for people who can not draw.  We will create the tiles on a 12” by 16” stretched wrap-around canvas. This canvas will be ready to display on your wall when you arrive home.
