Defeat the intimidation of a blank white sheet of paper and create surface designs on paper. Explore more than a dozen techniques and play with color, texture, gestural marks, graphic tools, and a variety of media. These decorated sheets of paper can be used for individual artwork, collage, bookbinding, journals, and artist’s books. What could be more fun than spending time creating playgrounds?
