Making Simple Collage Papers

okay um just so you know most of the time i use freezer paper as my palette and that's what this is and you use it shiny side up i'm just using a regular old copy paper and i'm just going to start out making various marks i think i'm going to do a whole sheet of this and a lot of times what i'll do is i will instead of making a bunch of these i might make photocopies of it so that's that's our first one i think i'm just going to draw on it and then i'm going to take my brush and draw some more on it one thing that you'll find out that i will constantly be talking about and that is variety so you want a variety a width of line you want thin line thick line different kinds of lines okay that's another one that we have done let's uh let's do some splattering on it just just to make it a little bit different okay that's another another one that's done another piece of copy paper i think what i'm going to do is spread this out my black paint out this is a piece of packaging you might have to miss this every now and then so it doesn't dry out you can see on the inside is that corrugated cardboard so that's great so you can make a lot of different shapes or collage papers just by using some of the texture tools that you have so there's another one that we have so that's a very interesting one as well and these will dry very very quickly so you can go back and put white over that if you want as well so what else can we do let's take this apart one thing else i don't do is wear gloves and i know i should i am going to spritz this a little bit with some water because it's starting to dry out and there's still a lot of paint on there i like to overlay them okay let's do something different i'm gonna get my brush overlay it with some white or it probably will turn out to be mostly gray because the paint is still wet that's on it no idea what's going to happen but we'll find out oh that's interesting i like it so that gives me a little bit of variety i want to put a little bit more in through here oh look at that circle that came out okay there we have some more i'm going to set that aside so it can dry and i have another piece of nice collage paper and we're just i'm just using black really and cheap copy paper i think i'm going to use this i'm going to get some black paint this is just about empty isn't that interesting i think what i'm going to do pull it this way wow as well that's some nice paper there too let's do that again we'll just take it one way through okay there's another one it through just once okay there's another one use up as much of that as i can let's take some white through it ooh and that gives me even something else like that you can see i'm just doing some real simple stuff let's paint one with black and then we'll take another color over it gonna we're gonna put we won't put collage in all of our pieces just some of our pieces but i want you to have some ready so when we start you'll have something to pull from okay now i'm going to let this dry for a minute but i want to show you some of the other things that i've done okay while this is drying will show you some of the other papers that i have done and i use a lot of deli paper and what that is it's just dry wax paper and i get a big box from sam's so there's one using a couple different things here is one that i did on craft paper and i just dropped and drizzled and then this i stamped in with a stamp this is on newspaper i did this one with cork with a wine cork stopper this one is on um some kind of packaging and and i just drew different lines through it this is on a more packaging where i just took different tools and pressed into paint and pressed it on there this is on deli paper and again it's the stamp this is on a mac and i just drizzled paint and here's another variation of that same thing and it's on a map here's another one on a map and i use different colors this is on a map and this is on deli paper you can use tissue paper you can use many many different kinds of stuff i used a lot of a news news news paper or newsprint okay this is just about dry i think it's dry enough i just want to drag some white paint through it so it stands out i'm gonna wipe this off well why don't we wipe it off something else there we go there's there's more paper something else a little different so there's another piece you'll find that i use a lot of black and white but let's take a piece of paper let's take a piece of newspaper okay i use a lot of these solid markers i don't know which way you can read that but they're all different colors you could paint these papers first with a translucent color some of your papers you're going to love and other ones you're not going to love it's just part of the game this is purple and i like a lot of contrast in my work that's one of the things that is very very big to me so what i'm going to do i definitely want to use some black and these dry rather quickly they're very creamy okay that's that one what else can we put on on here remember me saying that you need to have different size lines okay what else can we do to that to make it more interesting let me put some black paint on it all i need right there usually just use your imagination be creative play have fun now i think i'm gonna rinse my brush out and take a little bit of white through that what the heck wow that's way too much now i'm going to take a skewer maybe i'll take one of these things by a catalyst and it becomes something very different you couldn't buy anything like this so there's another piece of very interesting collage paper done on newsprint our newspaper so i'm going to set all these things out to dry something you might want to do i'm going to have monday to tour video tutorials and then on thursdays i'm going to have paint alongs and then i'm going to be throwing other things in there here and there and we'll be having challenges and all different kinds of things so thanks a lot guys for watching and i truly appreciate every one of you have a great day bye
