Composition with Cut Paper Collage!
Join me on zoom for a Technique Takeaway, hosted by Winslow Art Center.

This video is a little glimpse into what I will be showing you in my upcoming Technique Takeaway at Winslow Art Center via ZOOM: Composition as Process. Friday, August 27 at 2 - 3:30 Pacific Time, 5 - 6:30 Eastern Time. I will be narrating live my thoughts on composition as I work though several paintings and collages. Hope you'll join me on Zoom!
