Custom Narrative Collage

Start your painting with clarity and momentum by having Caitlin create a custom collage from your reference photos.

After you take your reference photos using the approach taught in the course, you’ll send them to Caitlin. She’ll create a custom narrative collage from your images and review it with you in a forty-five minute session.  You’ll see how her choices in arrangement, scale, and composition support your story and your painting and you’ll leave with a clear visual roadmap for beginning your large-scale work.

Best for: New students starting with Part 2 or who prefer to skip the technical collage steps

 Student Feedback

The collage you created made me realize I don’t have to copy the scene. You moved shapes to guide the eye and that unlocked something in me. — John F.

I was really stressing about making the collage, and now I feel like I have space to learn the process instead of rushing. And I LOVE the image you made of my daughters. — Lana P.
