One of the beauties of collage is you can design and create your art work as you go along. Each work is a personal exploration along the way. In this online course, we'll work together to find the collage expressions that best suit you. We'll create work inspired by some of the greats: from Henri Matisse, Piet Mondrian and Hannah Höch to Robert Kushner and Rex Ray. Through demonstrations you'll learn about a variety of GOLDEN gels, pastes and mediums to see how they can be used in your collage art work. After the demonstrations, you can opt to purchase the GOLDEN products that interest you, on your own, either online or at your local art supply store. The course will be loosely divided into four parts based on product demonstrations. Throughout the course, we'll be creating a variety of works of art.

Part 1: Paint and the Magic of GOLDEN Soft Gel Gloss
Part 2: The Diversity of GOLDEN Acrylic Grounds
Part 3: Textures with GOLDEN Pastes
Part 4: Sheen: GOLDEN Mediums
