Elizabeth St. Hilaire
PAPER PLUMAGE — BIRDS AND BLOOMS IN COLLAGE

Collaging exotic birds and blooms in mixed media. An impressionistic backdrop sets the stage for exotic birds in colorful collaged plumage with a variety of media. Join Elizabeth in Puerto Vallarta at the Hacienda Mosaico where every space (especially the 24-hour dedicated studio space) is designed with the artist in mind. Tile mosaics, hand painted floors, artistically designed and decorated accommodations . . . all set in a resort town on Mexico’s Pacific coast, known for its tropical beaches and over 350 species of birds. Banderas Bay still harbors some of the last remaining populations of Green or Military Macaws (Ara Militaris) in the world.

In this workshop students will learn a unique figurative collage technique. Emphasis will be on creating hand-painted papers through unique processes, and then using them to develop form through light and shadow, just as with traditional painting techniques. Papers will be glued down over a basic acrylic under-painting, ultimately achieving an impressionistic, painterly collage. Students will also experiment with with incorporating found objects such as string, yarn, wrappers, feathers, Mexican ephemera and anything else a magpie might steal!

Bring one mid sized project (12x14) or multiple smalls (8x8’s). Elizabeth will provide photo reference for some of Puerto Vallarta’s most exotic birds, or you may bring your own.

No prior collage experience is necessary. Some painting would be helpful, but not imperative.

Supply list provided*
