How To Add Depth to Your Botanical Paintings With Mixed Media Collage

How to Add Depth and Dimension to Your Botanical Paintings with Mixed Media Collage

I've worked for years to figure out ways to take my botanicals from flat, uniform and manufactured looking structures to ones that are whimsical, multi-dimensional and imperfect. One of the main ways I have found to do this is with mixed media collage. I hope you enjoy this method and if you'd like to learn more about how to make papers and to use them, I would love to have you join me in Introduction to Collage: Learning to Paint with Paper. It's SUPER FUN.
