Tropical Paradise Watercolor Collage
ONLY $45.00
You must register/pay prior to enrollment.
Escape to a sun-kissed shoreline where watercolor and paper come together in layers of color, texture, and tropical beauty. In this class, you’ll create a vibrant mixed media collage inspired by island blooms, gentle ocean waves, and the relaxed spirit of paradise.
The ocean itself is brought to life in a unique way. The rolling waves are created from handmade paper, adding beautiful texture and soft, organic edges that mimic the movement of water meeting the shore. The combination of painted paper and handmade fibers gives this piece a tactile, handcrafted quality that celebrates the imperfect beauty of handmade art.
Each element of this artwork is individually painted in watercolor, carefully cut by hand, and thoughtfully arranged to build a dimensional composition. The lush hibiscus, tropical foliage, and delicate plumeria flowers are layered like pieces of a story, allowing each painted element to shine on its own while becoming part of a larger scene.
No experience needed—just bring your creativity and enjoy the process.
