Seeing in Shapes
Collage lets you paint without fear. The color arrives already mixed, on paper you can cut, move and cut again, so a composition becomes a game of trying things rather than a test of getting them right. That is the spirit of Linda Pouliot’s November workshop.
Working from painted papers, you will learn to capture a scene quickly, reducing what you see to its essential shapes and noticing where color, shape and form meet in unexpected ways. Linda walks through the methods behind her own interiors and landscapes, along with practical ways to compose a picture that carry over to any medium.
It is a fresh way of looking at the everyday. No experience needed, only a willingness to cut first and decide later.
