The collage techniques on canvas workshop consists of 3 lessons totalling 77 pages sent to you in a PDF file form. Lesson One goes over at least a half a dozen different background techniques for creating a collage on canvas using everyday household products and acrylic paint. The techniques are shown via written instructions and photographs and are very easy to do. We will spend one lesson exploring all these techniques on canvas paper and canvas boards. The 2nd and 3rd lessons will take you from start to finish, step-by-step through the creation of a number of Lenna's mixed media collages. You can work right along with her as you learn about jump starting your collage and layering to create a finished piece. This 3 lesson workshop is designed for both beginning and experienced students and will give you the information and experience you need to create many collages ~ on a canvas panel, a stretched canvas or even on mat board.

Creative Lenna workshops come complete with step-by-step photos and detailed instructions via PDF files that are emailed to you. Additionally, you can reach Lenna by email anytime with questions.

Workshop Details:

Lesson 1 - Collage on canvas Techniques: We will combine acrylic paints with a variety of household products - masking tape, tissue paper, rubbing alcohol, baking soda, plastic wrap, paper napkins, and salt! Together with paint, these common items create wonderful backgrounds and are a great way to get started working on canvas.

Lesson 2: Are you ready to create a collage? In this lesson we will go over how to get started once you have made your background, the types of adhesives I recommend for paper and dimensional objects, and a step-by step photo diary of creating more than one collage. My goal in this lesson is for you to see the process of layering, how to get started, and what to do along the way before you get to the point where you feel your collage is finished. This lesson will give you a number of ideas on getting started and how to follow through, adding your own preferences, so that you come up with a collage that is uniquely yours!

Lesson 3: Layering! More step-by-step instuctions showing rubber stamping, using collage sheet images, found objects, skeleton leaves, fabric, beads, paper scraps, threads, charms, ribbons and more.
