SUPPLIES NEEDED

• Collage papers (a variety is great like magazine clips, old maps, sheet music, wrapping paper, book pages, receipts, tags, etc....

• Gel Medium (or Mod Podge or Glue for collaging) You can find Speedball Gel Medium on Amazon which is the product I recommend to my students

• Acrylic Paint - at least 3 colors including one neutral such as white, beige or gray. 

• Paint brush (used to apply gel medium)

• Palette knife (or old gift card or business card. Used to spread paint)
