Studio Snippet 21: Black and White Painted Paper Collage

You may have noticed that  I changed the name of this Tuesday series from "Studio Visits" to  "Studio Snippets." When I came up with the idea for this video series — a short peek into what's happening here in my studio — I didn't really know what it was  going to be.  Now that we are 21 weeks/21 videos (about 5 months) into it, I have a better sense of what the series is all about. So "Studio Snippets" — tiny little bits from the studio — feels like a more accurate title for the series.  If you want more than a snippet, I share a monthly Studio Vlog for Maker and Super Learner Members.  It tends to be a deeper dive into various projects and studio happenings.

In this week's Studio Snippet, I'm working on a painted paper collage and talking you through the process.

In the video, you'll notice how much I talk about value.  Value is one of the Design Principles and has been a major focus of mine over the last year.  Understanding and concentrating on value has been the thing that has transformed my artwork the most radically in the past year.  It's well worth a deep dive for any artist.  If you want assistance in understanding value, I hope you'll check out Design Boot Camp.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Very interesting and I like that collage. I recently learned from another artist I follow (Scrap Paper Circus, check her out) that helps glue sticks work better. She lightly mists the applied glue with a spray of water before adhering the piece. Very light mist. Very helpful.
