Last week we talked about Collage Art
and how I wanted to make one
but couldn’t seem to get started~
I enjoyed all your comments and as I was sitting in my studio,
I finally got an idea!
This Pink Roses painting was on my easel
because I had recently used it in a photograph…
There is a lot of background space
so I decided to add more flowers
with flower drawings from my old sketch books
I decide to stick with just roses
I cut them out
and arranged them on the canvas
I got out the Mod Podge
and glued them down
One more rose
This one was a pain to cut out!
I decided to add marker dots in the remaining white areas
On to the canvas it went
I decided it needed a little more blue/purple to balance the composition
so I made a copy of the blue rose with my photo editor, PicMonkey
I removed the background with the back ground tool
Then I colored the remaining areas I didn’t want to use
with the black drawing tool
Still using my photo editor,
I adjusted the size and added two of them to my painting digitally
Rose Flower Collage, 18″ x 24″ mixed media on canvas
Which one do you like better?
One blue rose {left} or 3 blue roses {right}
This was a fun challenge for me and have more ideas for future collages
Even if you feel like you can’t draw or paint,
find photos in magazines or online that you can print out
and use to make your own collage
Be Fearless!
