Abstract Mixed Media Easy Shape Tip
How to simplify my mixed media collage with shapes
I wanted to share an easy tip for finding shapes in a first layer collage.
Sometimes I create these fun collages using various papers that I have made either on the gelli plate or tear outs from different sources. I love not overthinking it but just seeing it as a good way to create a textured underlay for what I’m going to build on.
In the video below , you will see how I use tracing paper to unite various shapes into unique new interesting shapes that I am then going to use as templates later on. In this way, I am using the first layer as inspiration, instead of imposing an unrelated shape onto the surface. Stay tuned to what I do next!! AND join me in my various upcoming workshops/retreats!!
Do you need to be an artist to create art?
ANYONE can be creative and make art given the right stimulation and circumstance. That is why The Art Process Method is so successful. It encourages and exercises that creative muscle, taking the self criticism out of the picture (a sure way to deaden creativity!) By incorporating meditation and self inquiry into the creative process, it opens the doorways to your unique vision and self expression!
