First Collage Class Tonight

I am just in from my first ever collage class. Taught at the Art Center downtown, around the corner from my office. Got done with last clients at 6PM, had time to eat quickly (a fruit salad and roll with cream cheese I'd got at lunch time for my dinner).
Then drove the block to the place, the teacher just pulled up when I did. Her name is Joanne and she is a young woman, graduate of art college in 2002. I was her only student tonight and think I was her first there, as all the media we used was brand new. New water soluble crayons, new water soluble colored pencils. The acrylics were not new.

I had fun playing after a long day at the office. I started a collage so will go again next Monday night to do the painting layers with her supervision. I guess I could do this at home but there I don't have to clean up the mess.
Anyway, it was a fun introduction for me to paint brushes, gel, crayons and paints. Not sure I've ever made a collage before! Not recently that is for sure.
This is the finished first stage after gluing all to the canvas.
Below is the first step laying out papers, tearing paper, layering on a piece of canvas. Followed by my first ever painting palate!

Cris, get out your paint brushes and attack the colored pencil work. They are the lighter colors on the left of the "color palate" above. The water soluable crayons bring out darker colors and the acrylics the darkest of all. See, I am learning.
