Create Your own Collage Paper for Mixed Media!!!

Hey there!!!

In this video I show you how I make my own collage papers for my mixed media paintings on canvas! I usually will use rice paper or deli paper because they are more translucent than other papers and I want to see the layers underneath.

This is just the way I make them. It adds some interest to the background and provides inspiration for whatever I decide to do next. Sometimes it's just a fun thing to do when you don't feel particularly inspired. It often stirs up the creative juices and provides the backdrop for an amazing piece of art!

Anyhoo... I hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful! If there are any questions, feel free to leave them in the comments! I always read them!

Love to all of you and stay creative!!!

Supplies:

Wet strength tissue paper (better than rice paper or deli paper)
Rubber brayer
Script Stencil (the one I have is no longer available, but this one is a close second)
Gelli Plate
Catalyst wedge
Posca markers
Rubber letter stamps

“There is chaos everywhere, the tidiness does not last long”. That had me laughing because it is so very true!

I especially liked the explanation of smoothing out the collage papee with the scraper...thanks.

This is so very helpful Lydia, I really appreciate you sharing your skills with us. It's very generous of you.

Lol! One of the best commentaries I ever heard. You're hilarious and made me laugh multiple times. (Especially the Vanna White bits and the relatable chaos of creating.) Glad I found your channel.

[roseanne]

Awesome! So fun. Can't wait to try it.

This is soo clean, tidy and organized compared to my studio! You have to see it to believe it. It's kinda scary really. Too small for my many interests, what can I say.

[hdcnvkp]

Very very cool!! I am dying to try this. Thanks for being generous in sharing your talent, process & time. 😊😊

[kyelesley]

I should have called you “Vanna”. It was my second choice. But, Lydia does work for you! Very informative and instructive video. Makes me (almost) want to create collage paper! Keep up the great work!

[shabbykat]

Loved the process and the results! Thanks Vanna!

great idea to take photos when you get them laid out the way you want to use them. I had not thought of that one. Deli paper is the bomb for sure. Thanks for sharing. ❤

This was so cool to watch- I am learning so much from your channel and learning to experiment more with different mixed media methods. Thank you 😘
