Awesome. I've been looking for males in artwork. I do wonder why males are less popular. 👍 Art.

[@borispugmomdelyth6244]

Am excited to try this. Learned about this about three weeks ago an artist named Megan coyle does the same I bought magazines I have paper just need glue sticks now

Love seeing your process! Your pieces are outstanding, as I'm sure you already know. ☺️ The flower blooming was also really delightful! 💜

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thank you!

[@iandouceartist]

Just discovered your channel, I love your work. I do a similar thing in Photoshop and Procreate (I paint in oils mostly) but I'd love to try a full size collage.

[@ovidiu.solcan]

I am really happy to hear that! Let me know the outcome.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

WOW!!!! That Large collage you just finished, is an amazing !!! and the one from this video is great too. =) Thank you for sharing your process, this was very interesting. =)

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thanks! On my usual collages I don't print anything. Just magazine paper :) will document one like that soon.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

You're welcome. =) I look forward to seeing that. =)

Love this! I tend to stick to much smaller canvas boards for my torn magazine paper paintings. Thanks for sharing! 😍stunning work.

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thank you so much! Where can I see your aartworks?

[@CindyBushell]

Ovidiu Solcan You are most welcome - My Instagram is cindy_lee_bushell. I’ve only been doing them for about a year. Not a lot to show yet. I feel I am getting better as I go. The dogs are my lastest - my 2 grand-fur babies ❤️

[@KellyNieto]

Just started following you… I absolutely love your work! I’m hoping someone can help me find the following information Do you have a video that shows how you create the first step using photoshop to create the black white and gray image… Also, a video to show how you created the colorful second image?

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thank you so much! I do not have yet a video on how I use Photoshop but I defiantly will create some tutorials on the digital part of my art.

[@almlaoztas7475]

I understood very well and i think its pretty cool, im also busy with collage and ilustration with oilcolour so i think its amazing :)

Hi I absolutely am a huge fan!! I could only hope to be half as good as you one day! But how and where do you get the background printed pictures you use? Like do you print it at home with your regular printer or take it to a printing shop ? Thank you so much

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Hi! For this one I printed at a printer shop. But I usualy only use recycled magazines paper. Check out my instagram @ovidiu.solcan

Foarte frumos! ❤️

Mulțumesc mult!

What is the apps name to change the picture in the blocked Grey scale?

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Photoshop

[@jurandirbispo2653]

Eu gostei muito.

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

I think I need a video on how to turn a photo into the black and white and multi-colored prints. : ) Not very tech savvy here.

[@ovidiu.solcan]

I will do it in the near future. In the meantime just search for some "how to create wpap portraits". That is pretty much how I do it.

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

@@ovidiu.solcan Thank you thank you thank you. I'm currently gell printing papers for collage. : ) I would really love to do something like this.

[@spinnettdesigns]

I learned SO much from you in this video, thank you so much. One question: as you clean up at the end, do you throw all of the s raps away? I can’t seem to do that 😅

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Yes, I take them for papaer recycling. I am also thinking about creating recycle paper myself :) you can check this process on KZbin. You will find a lot of videos

[@spinnettdesigns]

@@ovidiu.solcan I am 61 years old and I have been doing collage (and writing stories, illustrating and making the book) since I was a little girl. I thought I would grow out of it because I always was made to feel that it’s “not real art” wrong! Are you Romanian? I was curious when I saw your surroundings and magazines. I’ve always wanted to make paper( to use as stationary) but I haven’t done it yet, though I have the blender and the screens 😄 Instead I’m learning to make pop-up cards and I’m really enjoying those. Thank you again for sharing your process, the digital part of the process and also the cutting up and roasting is such an obviously great idea. 👌

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Yes, I am Romanian. Collages are definitely real art :)) I've also been through this though until I began to sell them :) I would really like to see your collages. Do you have an Instagram account?

[@spinnettdesigns]

@@ovidiu.solcan Selling art is the game changer 😀 I don’t, I have some of my drawings on IG but they are very amateurish and nothing as fabulous as your work, I just shared them with friends. You may know, that many artists struggle with being free and unconcerned about what others think of their work. I’ve been fighting to get back to my natural exuberance for all forms of art. I love color, shape and composition. I particularly liked your choice of colors, to your preference, rather than what might be “acceptable” That is the kind of judgmental nonsense thinking that I grew up hearing.

[@ovidiu.solcan]

I know this so we'll. I am actually an architect beacuse all my life I heard that art should be just a hobby... it was so hard to get over this inception:)) and only now at 40 years old I got the courage to say I am an artist

[@andreamuller8468]

[@pedrohenriques343]

Hi, do you recommend a type of glue to use for poster paper that won't leave any white marks over the poster when you're laying it on top of the piece? Having a hard time with that right now

[@ovidiu.solcan]

I use UHU Stic. It is a good stick glue. On black surfaces you can still see the marks but you can clean them with a wet microfiber towel. And I cover the final artwork in UV varnish.

[@intuitiveinspiredart4366]

This is amazing! How do you make your multi-colored and grey scale prints for underneath?

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thanks! Actually it is the only time I did it. Usually I do it with only the sketch on the canvas. This tims I printed the layouts that I previously created in Adobe Illustrator.

Sir, I appreciate your talent, but hate that music. Please ask yourself why you feel the need to use it

[@ovidiu.solcan]

Thank you for the appreciation. I use music to make the video more dynamic and not get bored. Would you prefer other type of music or no music at all?

[@steveelkins52]

@@ovidiu.solcan I feel no need for the music, your work is interesting and the music intrusive. I understand the need to entertain, but there is plenty going on in your video.

[@ovidiu.solcan]
