One of the supplies I must always have on hand in my art studio is magazines.  Believe it or not, magazines are an incredibly versatile and helpful tool for any artist. In this class we’ll be exploring some of the myriad ways in which you can use magazines to create art, including: as reference images, as collage fodder, as the basis for image transfers, as underpaintings, as canvases, as stencils, and so much more!

This class is packed with techniques for you try out!  You will go home with an arsenal of new ideas and lots of finished samples!
