Painting for Collage

 Here is a little video in which I am painting pieces that will be cut up and used for collage. It is a little different than just painting Papers For Collage, with all-over designs. 

The supplies I use in the video include: Golden Fluid Acrylics, interior latex house paint, cheap bristle hardware store brushes, a blunt stiff brush, Lyra Graphite Crayon (9B), a 2" soft rubber brayer, and a  1" flat brush. Here is the paper I'm using, and you can see the paper holder/cutter here. Links are for your information. I'm not trying to promote these particular items; they're just what I'm using.

Here are the collages I made using the pieces in the video. I used other elements as well. They are all 11"x14" on Bristol:






You can find these images and others as prints or on products at Pixels/FineArtAmerica here. Thanks for visiting. I would love to hear if this is useful, or if it is something you've tried.

  1. Very useful! I'd been creating flattish colors only; I like the idea of a mini-composition, planned for re-use.

  2. Been watching all your videos. So motivating and useful, especially when I'm disheartened by my work. Fascinating how you make and use your collage papers. I've tried your method without much success. I'll keep working at it. I'm an amateur painter with no intention of showing my attempts, but I am so focused and 'in the zone' when I paint I could not give up. Thank you for sharing how you use elements to achieve your creations.

  7. The final compositions are so pleasing to the eye. It was difficult to imagine how those big shapes were going to be integrated into a final collage and then . . . wellah . . . beautiful finished pieces. You make it look sooo easy. Thank you for sharing your talent.
