full length course

Collage Botanica

Join me for a self-paced, standalone course with five sessions and five+ hours of instruction on two of my favorite subjects - florals and collage!

Let's Paint!

Tell me about the course!

The course is self-guided through five distinct video sessions, each designed to leave you with finished artwork.
Session 1

Party Starters

Collage can be an intimidating experience. Here we will cover the basics and get you set up for a successful adventure!

Session 2

The Flower Shop

Let’s play the role of a professional florist as we prepare a flower arrangement using an inspiration photo; one large on canvas, and one small and dimensional using cardboard scraps.

And, by popular request, we'll take a trip to my basement for a step-by-step lesson on how I make archival-quality Caterpillar Paper!  

Session 3 

The Garden Center

We’ll take a visit to a garden center for a deep dive into the wonders of texture, foliage, and more free-form, abstract like compositions. 

Session 4 

The Attic of Secrets

Collage treasures abound in your attic, basement, and local thrift-store - let’s go beyond paper and open the world of fabric! We’ll chose materials based on color, texture, or sentiment. 

Session 5 

Pocket Sessions 

A variety of tips and tricks for taking your collage work to new heights! 

  • Fruit Bowl Variations
  • Mini Bottle Florals
  • Shopping Bag Bonanza
  • Tracing Images with Artistry

I Have A Few More Questions...

In Case We Haven't Met...

Hi! My name is Amanda.

I’m a painter, a maker, a gallery owner, mom, and sometimes I teach art to people who think they are not artistic. Over the years I have taught thousands of individuals how to create beautiful and meaningful works of art. I'm so glad you are here!
