Suggested materials:
- Stretched canvas - it is fun to reuse an old painting, one of yours, one found on the clearance table or one you find at a garage sale. Any size will do, remember the bigger the canvas, the more fun you can have.
- Paints - several colors of your choice.
- Paint brushes.
- Ink pads, inks, any other coloring tools you like to work with.
- Texture tools (stencils, tin foil ball, anything that can add texture to your painting will give it more chacacter.
- Pictures, embellishments, cloth, words, sayings, paper, stickers, rub ons, beads, corks, wine label, cigar band, paper menu from the chinese restraunt, etc....bring more than you think you'll need, use your imaganation. Look through all your things...
- Glue - Mod Podge Mat works great for this type of project. YOU WILL USE LOTS OF GLUE. You'll want to seal it later with a gloss sealer.
- Brayer (if you have one)
- Paper cutter if you want straight lines
- SCISSORS
Food and beverages: In light of a collage being a random collection of things, lets just bring whatever and see what we end up with. Don't tell me anything!
