Madeleine’s Paste Papers are a unique creation and a brilliant way to add a fresh and original look to your creative book art, collage, and calligraphy creations. In this one-day workshop you will learn the brush technique that Madeleine has developed over the last many years. You will learn what kind of brush works best and how to hold it so that you create a variety of lines, shapes, and patterns. You will also learn tricks for blending colors. You will leave the class with a basic knowledge and ability to create straight lines, wavy lines, subtle blending techniques and geometric patterns. We will dive into painting with paste right away with simple lines and colors and quickly proceed to more complex patterns, colors and fun magical techniques. Madeleine’s paste paper technique is delightfully spontaneous. Come to class ready to have fun!
