Learn the technique of watercolor painting on any type of ephemera like pages from old books, sheet music and maps. Several line drawings will be available from which to choose, or you can design an image based on the particular background paper you have chosen. We will distress the pages using several interesting techniques and then commence with our painting. These make great gifts for bibliophiles, boating friends or for the musically inclined. Or just make them for yourself!

Thereafter, you can use your photo references to be inspired by.
