The following will be furnished for you:
11" x 14" canvas board, gel medium, water pans for dipping copies, some liquid paint, gesso
NOTE: If you prefer foam core board or wood supports, please bring with you--no larger than 11 x 14. I will bring gesso or you can gesso beforehand.
Stuff to collect for your mixed media collage--just a few of these:
- Xerox copies of your photographs--color and grayscale (black and white). Enlarge some; minimize some.NOTE: Copies should be with laser printer, not inkjet. To test, make a copy and drip water on it. IF THE INK RUNS, IT WON'T WORK FOR THIS!

- Bas-relief items: Fabric, small wood pieces, buttons, jewelry, watch parts--Let your imagination run wild!
