In this Skillshare class you will learn how to create a floral-based piece from book and magazine clippings and turn them into a complete collage! We will be using an X-Acto knife or scissors and all of your old magazines, books, or anything with a picture that inspires you! I’ll take you through my process starting from brainstorming ideas, sharing sources, playing with layout, and of course sharing a couple of my favorite tools and tricks to strengthen your skills.

An understanding of composition and basic color theory are really all you need to get started, the rest is completely up to you. I’ve linked to a couple of my favorite classes if you need to brush up on basics.
