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. 
Thanks for checking out my blog!

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. Thanks for checking out my blog!

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!

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!
