#116 MASTER CLASS — LAYERS OF HISTORY, PAPER AND PAINT
In this richly layered Master Class, Coach Amy Livezey takes you inside her studio for a start-to-finish collage demonstration that will change the way you think about what belongs in a painting. Amy shows how vintage ephemera, palette scraps, old books, and handmade papers can lead you somewhere unexpected, and how layering paper alongside paint creates meaning, texture, and a voice that is unmistakably yours. Whether you are new to collage or ready to go deeper, you will leave with practical tools, a fresh sense of possibility, and permission to let the paper lead.

Thank you so much Amy, it was very inspiring again.
Thanks so much, Amy. Great video. My takeaway is to keep layering, not stop too soon.
Loved watching. Thanks amy
Thank you Amy. I loved everything in this masterclass. Your finished painting is so good.
Superb! Thank you so much for sharing
Amy this was do very inspiring THANK YOU 💕
Great video Amy. I have followed you for some time and was somehow under the impression you used actual photographs in your compositions. I was impressed with the woman you painted, free hand. Is this how you depict all your images? Using the photo only as a reference?
As a mix media artist and photographer, I tend to paint on photos as well as paint the figure freehand.
Thank you for sharing.
