Peek Inside the Class

What Artists are Saying About Learning to Paint with Paper

  • Becky says

    "Marabeth's class was amazing! I've been painting with actual paints for years, but never realized how much depth and richness you can achieve by layering papers. Truly wondrous."

  • Heather says

    "Marabeth is an enthusiastic and gentle teacher. The life lessons she offered alone were worth the cost of the course. The beautiful pieces she created as examples were evocative and inspirational. Painting with paper is now a treasured tool in my creative toolbox."

  • Denise says

    "All I can say is it was fun and if you're looking for some different ways of playing, this is it!"

  • Dana says

    "I love when Marabeth says, "Imperfections are welcomed." I'm ready to literally throw some beautiful things on paper and see what happens. She has relieved the pressure."

  • Beth says

    "As a self-taught amateur artist, single mom with 4 kids and a job, I don't have much time to take time for myself to get creative--this course gave me a really fun road map to there."

  • Jill says

    "I can honestly say that this course gave me confidence to try new ideas and ways to create art that I never knew were possible."

Thank you for sharing your beautiful if not difficult journey. I am also turning to collage as a way to deal with difficulties and I can relate to all that happens in the process from “this is terrible” to “OMG, I love it” . What I am learning is to hang in there with a piece and to not give up. Thanks for sharing!

Cathy Kodra

This course made many things clear or clearer, and I’ve been doing collage for a while now. I highly recommend it to any artists who incorporate collage in their work.
