Creating 1 collage a day for 7 days plus benefits of small art journal/sketchbook


In this video, I talk about the benefits of creating in a small art journal and/or sketchbook. Then I show you the process of creating one collage a day for 7 days in my 5" square collage art journal. 

In the timestamps below, I put the actual time it took to create each collage before making edits for this video. I took out things such as pulling collage materials, deciding on composition, drying the paint. Each collage was made under 20 minutes. 

Thanks for watching!

Creating four collages with same composition but different collage papers


The concept for this video is to use the collage composition from Collage with Me #24 to create four collages with different collage materials. It's a good exercise to become more familiar with composition and to explore "What If". What if I use bright colored papers? What if I use altered bleeding tissue paper to give the collage a transparent look? You can explore different collage materials without the extra step on creating a new composition each time. 

Have you created multiple collages using the same composition but different collage materials? If you have, I’m curious to hear what you experienced. I hope you enjoyed this video. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for watching!
