#collagepapers

What a year it has been! I relearned to use #watercolors, how to make my own #collagepapers / #collage. I also finished my first themed #sketchbook, completed the #100dayproject as well #scbwiartober and took all kinds of inspirational classes that have helped me find my style. I’m looking forward to what 2023 will bring. #artvsartist #artvsartist2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl82r7HLJRB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I decided to try cutting some patterns into styrofoam and print them to use in my #collages It wasn’t as way as I thought it would be. Maybe I just used some particularly tough styrofoam, but it was hard to cut. It also had some glue bits that I couldn’t get off that I hoped would just be good texture, but is just annoying. Lesson learned. #collagepapers #printmaking #styrofoamprintmaking #styrofoamprinting #collage #collagepatterns #learningtoprint #painting #paintingpatterns #collageart #collageartist #collageartistoninstagram #learningnewskills https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6N_5mrkv3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are my #collagepapers from last night. I continued to use a credit card to #paint though on the last few on the right I played with twisting the card in circles and scraping it across the page. Then I did a few splatter pages with the last bit of paint. I love how they came out and I can’t wait to use them, but I have a few more colors to paint first. #collage #collagefodder #paintingwithpaper #collageart #collageartwork #collageartist #playingwithpaint #paintingtextures https://www.instagram.com/p/CkyYQcTLl2a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I got in a few minutes of #painting today and had way too much fun painting with an old credit card. I’m thinking about making a #collage for our Christmas card this year so I want to have plenty of papers to choose from. Now to get in a few more minutes of painting while I have the room to myself. A rarity around here😆 #collagepapers #collageart #collageartist #playingwithpaint #paintingtextures #collagefun https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckw-rQ-rPDR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I spent the evening last night watching Christmas movies and #painting #collagepapers. I wanted to play with #patterns and #textures. I started with a #palette of orange, yellow, red, pink, white, and black. Then I just went with whatever came to mind. I’m gonna pick a different palette today and try a few texture techniques I haven’t tried yet and just play with paint. I’m excited. #collage #collageart #papercollage #paintingwithpaper #collageartist #collagestash #collagemaker #collageartistoninstagram #collagefun #paintingcollagepapers https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqnzSvrRsS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Still working my way through my #mastersstudies of #collageartists This is another one done in the style of @clover_robin I learned a few things with this one - I should’ve spaced the flowers out more, to add details before gluing it all down, and to be careful with pieces painted with cheap chalky paint cause the color rubs off on everything. I painted some tissue paper yesterday so I can try out Eric Carle next. Should be fun. #collage #collageart #collagepapers #learningtocollage #learningtoillustrate #illustration #illustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #collagefun #collageartist #collageillustration #collagesa #illustratingwithcollage https://www.instagram.com/p/CjDxD2CLYFl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Auditioning #collagepapers to make a background for my #collagecharacter for my #illustratingwithcollage homework. I’m nervous and excited at the same time to do a full page. Let me get started tracing my sketch and cutting pieces✂️ It’s about to get messy😜 #collage #collageart #collageartist #playingwithpaper #collageinprogress #learningtoillustrate #journeytobeanauthorillustrator #collagefun https://www.instagram.com/p/CismphKrX6q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
