Description
Like to rip paper? So do I. I’m a magazine collage artist making my artwork from torn and cut magazines. I don’t use paint. Everything you see on my collages is a piece of paper.
In this intro course, you will learn how to make a collage by working on your own with my process. Work with me as I put together a collage of birch trees. It’s an easy subject that will help you learn the basics before you try something more difficult. No previous experience is needed. Even the drawing is simple. You may be tempted to try a harder subject, but this will help you become familiar with working with paper for your first collage in this style.
