10 STRESS-FREE Steps for Collage Art

#collageart #beginnercollage #cutpaper
Making cut paper collage art can be a long process. I’ve been working in the medium of collage art a long time, and even now still can get overwhelmed and feel like quitting. But, when I approach the collage art work in steps, the feeling of overwhelm is less likely to occur. Here I discuss the ways in which I break down the collage process into manageable chunks that can be done in any order at any time, whenever YOU have time. I hope these ideas are helpful to you too!

What’s your favourite step when making collage art?

[@ShelleyElley]

Thanks for helping to keep things simple. And for mentioning how too many things to choose from is making your brain tired. I can relate.

[@colorfulcollage]

Glad I could help 😊

[@susanmyrick2913]

Ok…let me think of a creative and thoughtful way to say this……………your work is wonderful and you are cool…..well, that’s the best I can do.

Walking away is important to learn. I wish I had a clean space. It is a nice dream

Take a picture if you take a break. Wind, cats, etc., happen, and having that layout on your phone is a lifesaver.

Doing textile collage... enjoying the cut-out part. Sometimes stitching/ using fabric glue or both .😊 Ann

[@colorfulcollage]

Textile collage must be fun!

[@Creativeassemblages]

Always look for your video on the weekend. Love the way you describe your steps for making collage. Made me think about my favourite step - The completion and feeling good about what I have made. Thanks for sharing.

[@colorfulcollage]

I agree! There is nothing like the feeling of completing a piece that you love.

[@amybandel1004]

[@colorfulcollage]

I’m so glad it was helpful 😊

[@Creativeassemblages]

Thanks!

[@colorfulcollage]

Wow! Thank you SO much for supporting me! I’m very touched. 🤗

[@freezo244]

I love the Pantone book you recommended a few weeks ago. I’m still trying to figure out the proportions though. How do you use the proportion recommendations?

[@colorfulcollage]

I mostly ignore the proportions tbh. But I think you are meant to use mostly the largest color (of the circle) and add less of the other two.
