Creating three mixed media collages: acrylic paint and magazine pages



I have another longer format video. In this video, three collages will be created in different styles using acrylic paint and magazine pages as ephemera in my new sketchbook art journal. 

The collaging sections are a bit sped up to reduce the length of this video.

Thanks for watching!

Creating four mixed media collages: watercolor and magazine fonts (music only)


I brought out my art journal and created four mixed media collages using watercolor and magazine fonts. This 6" square art journal has 80lb drawing paper for the signatures. Watercolor reacts differently on this paper than it does on water color paper. I like the texture and variation of colors I get when using this paper. I'm not looking for a perfect ground for the collages. This video is longer than my usual videos, so I hope you like this format. I'm interested in knowing if you like longer format videos.

Thanks for watching!

Collage with Me | Ep 21: used calculator tape collage


A slight spoiler alert! I found that the used calculator tape reacted differently to matte medium when I put it on the journal page. My guess is that I used more matte medium on the journal page than I did on the test. 

Thanks for watching!
