Life is all about Perspective

Note: You will be sent a link to join the workshop via Zoom the day before the workshop.
We invite you to log on fifteen minutes early if you need a short tutorial on using Zoom.

Join Melissa Grace Young in a playful approach to exploring perspective and using collage elements to create an interesting composition in your journal. Consideration of patterns and colors will help unify your page.

Find a favorite photo to cast this doppelgänger effect, and print out two images, about 5” x 1 ½”, black and white.

You will use watercolor or spray stains to prep our background and create patterns on your page. Spray stains are highly encouraged supplies, as they allow a spontaneous and intense burst of color and work especially well with stencils.

Photo, printed on regular printer paper-twice, approximately 5” & 1 ½”
