The following Paper Mosaic paintings are ones I have done that are fairly complicated. They are comprised of thousands of tiny bits of paper and take an enormous amount of time. I love doing them and get lost in the work. I share them with you to illustrate what you are able to achieve depending on the commitment that you wish to make to this art form.

If you are interested in CLASSES, scroll down... following these examples, I have paintings that I offer in my art classes. They range in their complexity. Please review to see if there is one that might inspire you!

                                    PAPIER MOSAIC CLASS [PAINTING WITH PAPER]
There are many ways to create art. We are excited to bring to you a fresh approach with our ‘Papier Mosaic’ style paintings. We’ll share basic application and design techniques to achieve the best results. Learn how to incorporate a variety of paper and search for the unique color nuance it has to offer. [It is like painting with paint that has ‘personality!] We’ll learn how to use each element of paper to incorporate character and help us build your unique artwork. All materials will be supplied… simply bring your passion to create and we’ll help you bring your art to life.
                                    Instructor: Barbara Richardson, Designer / Artist / Owner Emerald & Violet Studio

Class Series 'A'

One of our most popular classes are creating 'Initials'. These amazing creations can be personalized to each person. We are working on fresh new ideas for topics to coordinate with your favorite letter of the alphabet! In addition to the popularity of this class, it is also a great class for the person just starting out... we will achieve excellent results for your first project.

The metallic painted background sets this 'Initial' apart. By pre-painting this canvas, we save you time in the building of your artwork. You are able to focus only on the structure of the letter. Exquisite results are achieved by layering the branches and then selecting the perfect floral colors to complete your design. Imagine how a Mary, Melinda, Meg, Michelle or Molly would love this for a gift!




​This letter 'E' has very pretty curves and is set against a warm gray metallic background. All the flowers are totally adjustable... you are able to include whatever flowers and colors you wish to make this customized to your own personality.

​In this class we begin looking at how to construct flowers with paper. This painting may take a little longer... however, we'll take you through the process step-by-step so you will be please with the results. When complete you will be able to frame this art to showcase your talent. This makes a lovely gift for that perfect someone!

​Our Coneflower on Antique Dictionary Paper is one of our most popular classes. You will begin by selecting those pages from our special dictionary that are most important to you. You'll then paste them onto a special board. Soon you will be constructing your flower upon the background. There are several flower designs from which to select. The finished size is 8" x 8" and will fit into a standard frame. This is a lovely work that is a perfect first class!

Our 'Pear Painting' is a favorite art project. We begin to explore the use of color to create light and dark areas and to begin to 'form' the shape of the pear. It is very exciting to incorporate the correct little bits of paper to convey a personality in your subject. When you look closely you will find  little elements of lace, flowers, nature and textures used to build the shape and composition of the fruit. I could spend hours looking for all the perfect colors to use. We want to share with you how to get lost in your art.


Class Series 'B' 

These Paper Paintings take 3 + hours & cost $65.00
[You may not be able to finish in one session at the Studio; however, I will get you started and spend as much time as possible.
​If you'd like to finish your art at home, I will be available for any questions you may have during the process.]

The following Paper Mosaic Paintings are a small sample of the possibilities of what you can achieve when learning how to do this 'painting' process. Please feel free to come up with your own topic and I will help you achieve your artwork.
