How we can turn our Photos into Art

In this video tutorial we are going to see how we can turn our favorite photos into a work of art. We are going to create a collage on wood or canvas, image or photo transfer over the collage and paint the whole piece with acrylic paints. It's definitely a fun process and looks great when its done.
We will also see how we can make our own collage paper using paints, a gel plate and tissue papers.

Too Cool😎, I ♥️ all your artwork, you’re So Creative!!! I’m so glad you ignored that teacher, she’s clearly in the wrong line of work. Teachers are suppose to encourage not discourage!!! As for your paint brushes, try to avoid leaving them in the jar coz they’ll get ruined, instead rinse them off & leave it on its side to dry. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Good advice!! It always gets a little messy when I film 😅 thank you for your kind words 🥰

[@artscience9981]

Great video Nitsa! I love your process and the aesthetic you end up with. I’m an acrylic painter also. I noticed you mixed your acrylic paints with white paint, which in acrylic is opaque, I think that is why your original collage was hard to see. I suggest you might try diluting your colors with your matte medium, which will allow more of the original collage layer to show through. You are definitely a creative artist!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Great tip!🥰 You're right, the paints are more opaque when I add the white. Sometimes it works, if I want to cover some areas but yes, in that case I painted over the background too much. That's why I had to add another layer of collage on top. It was just more work for me 😅 but I'm glad the final piece turned out okay 👍

[@Xenopticon]

I really love the aesthetic of these works! Not only the visual texture, but the type of imagery and type you used in your city images work so well at enriching the meaning of the photos and expanding our feel for the places you've depicted. I do think your most successful ones rely less on fully-opaque paint applications. (Either that, or the collage elements create a similar effect.) It seems to me that if you allowed more of the original collage to show through the paint layers, you might not need to add much collage as a top layer. But however you get these results, they're beautiful and visually exciting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, and keep up the excellent work!

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you so much for this thoughtful message! 🥰 I totally agree that the reason I felt the whole thing was too flat is because I applied much of the opaque paint and lost some of the under collage. But yeah I'm glad it did work at the end. I'm still learning how to apply this process. I did a lot of photo-painting in the past, but this is a little different and new to me, as I'm trying to move toward creating a painting rather than a painted photo.

[@juliebrown9483]

I believe that is a fallacy. People who are mean enough to say you don’t have a creative bone in your body have no right to tell you this.Yes some people have a natural talent. I believe that you can teach yourself to draw. If you look at anything even faces are made up of shapes. The hardest drawings are just practice. I did a portrait from a photo on line. It took me a least twenty drawings to get the image I liked. I believe that if you persist in your pursuit you will eventually gain. I enjoyed learning another phase of creative art. Thankyou for sharing.❤

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I agree! I think the reason I didn't learn how to draw is because, for some reason or another, I've never developed that muscle. But yes, it takes a lot of practice to make any type of art. Thank you, Julie 🥰

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Yes it does, you can use an inkjet printer with this process. If you can, it's a good idea to protect the print with spray fixative before transferring, so the ink doesn't smudge 👍

[@urbanchili]

I do this too but more with portraits. Mixed media collage. I love it! I always have 3 - 5 pictures in the work so I don't have to wait. I don't do transfers, to risky I feel. I print on rice paper

Oh interesting! I would love to see your process if possible.

[@urbanchili]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio Stick the ricepaper on print paper, I use glue stick or double sided tape only in the corner and print with my laser printer. I print only in black and use mat medium to glue it on a background and continue to work on it. I am to lazy to make videos 😁

Brilliant! Very inspiring….I was told the same in school and it took me over 30 years to ‘recover’. I’ve been a practicing textile artist for 25 years and I sometimes wish I could show my high school art teacher how wrong she was! But mostly I am far too busy getting on with my life as an artist ❤

@@NitsaCreativeStudio I love decoupage and have done it once or twice in the past...photos I did not want to lose. :) I love the tissue idea and the way you integrate the media behind and on top of the photos..yesterday someone said I was a crafter and I just laughed and told them to pick up a book. Art is what you want it to be. :)

[@lobstermash]

Maybe you could use very dilute watercolour to paint the photo transfer - the paint might act like a glaze and you wouldn't lose the first layer of collage.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

That's a great idea! 🤗 I did some watercoloring in the past but it was more like tinting and the final pieces would turn out subdued, which can be beautiful as well but I'm really into vivid colors now. So maybe I didn't use the right watercolors?

[@lobstermash]

@@NitsaCreativeStudio Maybe inks would give greater pigment strength. Or watered fluorescent colours (acrylic) ?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

You're right on the money!! I just bought acrylic inks recently and haven't tried them yet. I wasn't quite sure how to use them. So maybe that's what I'll do and possibly share in the next video... Thank you so much for your awesome suggestions! 🥰

[@leigh-annh2544]

I love what you’re doing thank you. I have a suggestion, and I am not saying you are doing anything wrong, but it may offer a different result. I wonder if you might experiment with more transparency in your paint. You can achieve this by mixing the colours you already have with some gel medium.You would have to experiment . By using transparent paint your original collage can show, but you can still define objects. I think you are an artist! Some teachers cause damage to people’s egos, and they are in the wrong job. You are courageous creating for us all to see and you are so encouraging . I love your video.

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

Thank you Leigh-Ann for this great suggestion! I did some transparent painting of my photo transfers; in fact, I have a chapter about it in my previous book. And I like it very much, and as you suggested its very effective. Nowadays, I'm trying the opaque style painting since I'm trying to create something that looks like a painting rather than a photo painting. I hope it makes sense. Thanks again, I very much enjoy comments like yours! 🥰🌷

Love the effect, but since you use gelli printing anyway, wouldn’t it be easier to do an image transfer onto the tissue using gelli plate, and then just collage it over the top in the tissue paper?

[@NitsaCreativeStudio]

I definitely do that sometimes (as you can see in some of my other videos) but 1. for this particular piece I wanted an actual toner transfer and 2. so many people are having a hard time with the gel plate photo transfer, I didn't want it to be an extra challenge. I hope this makes sense. Thank you for this great question Suz 🥰

I don't know why you painted over your first collage layer. You lost so much, and your time. Turned out nice.

At least it turned out nice 😅 I painted it because I felt the background was overwhelming the photo transfer. Anyway I'm going to address it in my upcoming video 👍🏻
