Quick layered and transparent sketches in my altered book sketchbook

I have been creating quick collages that explore layering and transparency in my altered book sketchbook. I noticed that my color palette is gravitating towards autumn colors. Maybe it's me subconsciously hoping for cooler temperatures.

Back to Basics: Grayscale Collages

For this video, I thought we would create two collages in grayscale. It's such a great exercise, especially if you’re new to collaging or art in general. It forces you to see beyond color and focus entirely on how light, mid-tone, and dark values work together. Learning value contrast helps in creating a successful piece of art.

Creating a 16"X20" Colorful Geometric Collage

A while ago, I used a sheet of 16"x20" 140lb watercolor paper to create a collage that I cut into 16 smaller collages. In this video, I'm creating one 16"x20" collage. My process is different for this collage since it's larger. Thanks for watching!

I'm continuing to explore abstract people in my art practice. In this video, I'm creating designs using acrylic paint, no collage. Besides showing my sketchbook practice, I like to show these sketching sessions to encourage you to incorporate sketchbooks in your art practice. Thanks for watching!

Leftover Scraps Collages #9 - large collage cut into smaller collages

My leftover scraps container is full. I like to use these scraps to create small collages but this time I'm doing it differently. I'm starting with a piece of 16"x20" 140lb watercolor paper to collage on top of it. Then I cut it into 4"x5" collages. Thanks for checking out my blog post!

A viewer suggested a video of the paints and brushes that I use. I thought that was a great idea! Along with the paints and brushes that I use, I included a few of my current favorite art supplies. I hope you find this video helpful. Thanks for checking out my blog!
