Welcome to

The Layered Botanical

In The Layered Botanical, we make semi-transparent botanical collage papers and layer them to create 8 ethereal paintings. Then, we explore color harmony and accents with mixed media to enhance each artwork.

  • Learn to paint botanicals with watercolor brushes onto different kinds of semi-transparent collage papers.

  • Learn to apply adhesive and layer your papers over one another and watch in wonder as they create depth and textures.

  • Learn to analyze your color palette and direct it into harmony, add accents with bold, bright botanicals and then finish with mixed media marks. You’ll discover firsthand how learning to problem solve increases your confidence and frees you to create more intuitively.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the Course?

  • The course will be $99 until May 1st. After that, it will be $119. So hurry!

Is the course live or can I work on it whenever I want?

  • This course is pre-recorded and you can watch at your own pace, and return to the material as many times as you'd like.

Do you offer lifetime access to the course?

  • No, but you will have access for the lifetime of the course + 1 year. This means you’ll have access for as long as I continue to offer The Layered Botanical and I will give all enrollees access to 1 additional year from the time I decide to discontinue the course. (p.s. I work hard on my classes and have no desire to discontinue them any time soon :)

Is this course for beginners as well as experienced artists?

  • Artists of all experience levels are welcome and will find adequate challenge and discovery appropriate to their experience level. I instruct you in all facets of this process, so no previous knowledge of collage is required. However, if you'd like to feel more experienced in collage before taking this course, I suggest my class Introduction to Collage: Learning to Paint with Paper.

I attended the Collage Makers Summit and took your Layered Botanical class. Does this class have new material?

  • Yes! Big time. My class at the Summit was a 30 minute introduction to this process, but in this full-length class you will learn more techniques, explore more papers, apply mixed media, and learn to problem solve so these pieces can develop to a more intricate and complex degree.

English is not my first language. Do you offer English subtitles?

  • Yes, I care very much about making it as accessible as possible to artists who speak different languages. I have embedded English subtitles in the class that can be accessed by you in the settings on your video player.
