I've been spending time making collages. This was inspired by a 10 day class called Collage Makers Summit organised by @drewsteinbrecher. He had organised 9 other collage artists to join him with a different collage idea each day. One of the ideas was to use your own photos, and one was to use black and white plus a pop of colour. A third tutor gave us sketches of layouts we could use.
So I put all three ideas together. I printed out black and white versions of my canal photos and chopped them up. I made these six 10cm square collages.
Kellee Wynne introduced the idea of grid collages. She is currently offering a free course Grid Journal Mini Course.
These are 7cm square collages using my gel prints. You draw out the grid and work on all of the squares at once with a limited palette of papers. It makes for a really cohesive collection.
Then I made these four 10cm square collages with the gel prints but adding in some of my photos.
I may go back and add some marks with pens or markers. I don't think there's sufficient contrast so I may use black.
Thanks for joining me today
