Esther WAITE – Landscape inspired abstract collage
21st March 2025 – Esther described how she makes different materials to create her abstract landscape collages. She talked through all the items she brought in, explaining the methods she uses to paint on various types of tissue paper and how using Mica powder creates an illuminating effect on paint. We all had a go at making our own pieces/designs. Esther will be back next week to talk through assembling the different pieces to create our own abstract landscape.
