Mixed Media Collage - Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 бер 2020
- Welcome! I’ve created this special, Mixed Media Collage Lesson just for you!
I am honored to be featured in the beautiful Somerset Studios Winter 2020 issue! To celebrate, I want to share this FREE mixed media collage lesson creating the piece that is featured on this issue’s cover!
It conjured up powerful, fiery imagery in my mind. I decided to do a mixed media collage and play with creating an image that conveyed my emotion.
Collage is such a fantastic way to hone your design and composition skills so enjoy moving around the different elements and composing something that speaks to you! I speak at length about this in the lesson.
I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for being here!

Thanks for your advice about other people’s opinions on your art. A good friend was very critical but the best advice came from my son (a graphic designer) who said don’t show your art to anyone that doesn’t make art
Ivy is the most easy on the ear, on the heart, as well as the best of online art teachers in my experience. Her extrapolations on the psychology of art are sensitive and educated. A naturalness with no fuss. Thank you!
Beautifully and succinctly said!!!
So beautiful! My mom was an antique dealer who specialized in Victorian items, especially ephemera. She passed away in 2006 and I have boxes of it and didn't know what to do with it but in my heart, knew I kept them for a reason. Now I have a reason. Thank you so much! Love and hugs! ♥
Oh how beautiful! I hope you have been creating with all the treasures she left you!
What I never even knew u could do that 😮
Post what you make. I would love to see what you do.
I have explored so many different kinds of art, from mosaic tiles and glass , acrylic painting, paint pouring, and also had a phase where I unicorn spit and deco-podged anything I could get my hands on. Now I had this crazy calling , out of the blue, to start clipping magazine’s and begin this new art venture. I have been browsing UA-cam looking for inspiration, stumbling on your video. I just want to let you know , I really enjoy the pace in which you work, and unlike other channels who talk about having an idea already in their head, I could not relate and would feel like maybe I’m not cut out for this. That’s where you come in. I really appreciate the fact that you also allow one piece to guide you to the next , without necessarily having it all mapped out ahead. I find mapping out this kind of thing difficult in this particular field of art. So thank you for sharing your art and for your soothing voice and relaxed paced in which you work, I find it a breath of fresh air.
Collage means using the creative world around you. It’s a brain game changer ✌️🌻💕
I couldn't agree more Beth! I adore collage!! Thanks for your encouragement!
First time here. I enjoyed your video. I've done Junk journals with pictures and things, collages. I do my own themes and other peoples opinion doesn't bother me, because Art is the heart and what it means to each person.
For example. I sit to do my journals/ collage etc. Because its calming and it transports me to a world only I see .
Thanks for sharing!! :) So glad you enjoyed the video!
Spot on, I feel this will be my safe gateway to art. We are supportive to other artists but our own worst critics which make us freeze . Thank you , you are the best .
Un vrai bonheur avec ce superbe transfert d'image et la magie créatrice qui en découle!!!
You talk about trust and I have been calling it courage. It takes courage to make art.
The commentary on "collage critiquing" really hit home. Thanks for speaking on it and sharing some kind words 😍🙏
I enjoyed this. Looking forward to the next two parts. I didn't know collage was considered a fine art! So interesting. Thank you.
Thank you so much for watching!! :)
It can be.
Love your work! Thank you for “trust your instincts”.
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!!
Hi! I’m a new subscriber and so excited to try this. I just wanna know if it’s okay to do this on a canvas, like on top of an acrylic pour paint? Which paper are u using?
Hi Ivy, I usually listen to music when I work in my journal, but sometimes I enjoy listening to you create as I do. I am currently working on a journal with a theme of love based on a quote by Mother Teresa, " Spread love wherever you go. Let no one come ever come to you without leaving happier." I share this as it leads directly into some praise I'd like to throw your way... I am so glad you talked about collage being just as "real" an art as oil painting or sculpture or performance art like dance. It makes me crazy when people put others down, saying collage isn't "real art." As you've so rightly said, it takes good composition, color theory, a message, etc. when putting together your journal pages. A journal is all about expressing what we sometimes can't put into our own words. I love how you make what you do so inclusive of those who may not have gone to art school. You spread positivity and heaven knows we are hard enough on ourselves and the world can be ugly, so creating such a warm and welcoming environment helps others be their most creative and true self. God bless and keep on creating! 💝
Oh I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner! Thank you so much for your kind words of encouragement! Means so much to me!! Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for your lovely comments ❤️
You are such a nice person and so supportive of the art community. Thank you for your generosity also!!! ❤️
You are so welcome!! :) Thank you!
Magnifico trabajo...!!!
BEAUTIFUL ART of Collage 🤗😍😍😍❤🍂🌺🌺👸👍👍👍👍
Thank you for sharing your process .. And an even bigger THANK YOU !!! For speaking about the criticism that people may come across. As like you everyone and what they make or create are Valid! I had an awesome professor that had us critique our work with the class. Always having us saying 1 thing we did like and 1 thing we thought they could do better or change, and the most important WHY for both and not just saying to say say it.
In the end it's important for people to remember "It's only one person's opinion." So take it in stride and keep doing what your doing that makes you happy..
And lastly something I really connected with was "That we really don't need any help being negative and critical of our work and ourselves" As most of us are doing that twofold just fine on our own !! Thanks again !! I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos !!!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for this very kind comment! I'm so happy my teaching resonated with you!!
There are no rules....Life is short and often difficult...Main thing is having fun with whatever "art" you do.
So true! :)
You are so wise and encouraging :) Thank you for sharing your creative process with us!
Thank you so much! So kind!! I appreciate that!
I loved this! Thank you for sharing your gift!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching.
Thank you for your take on art and what it is!
Also I will try to do a transfer!
You are so welcome! Have fun!
I absolutely love Collage.
Me too! :)
Wow, super artwork ! I have often wondered about how best to do collages, as I fancy trying them out, and found this so interesting and informative. Great time and effort taken to explain in depth, ways and techniques to achieve this. A truly wonderful and enjoyable video.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your kind comment and for watching!!!

This was really helpful. Thank you! I have mostly been a painter my whole life, but this year I started art journaling in some old moleskine sketch books that I hauled out of my things from the early 1990's. I have been collaging in them since January.
New subscriber. Thanks again! :)
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! Enjoy your art practice. :)
I'm in love with your channel!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much!!!
Beautiful Ivy
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Just found you. Love your style and can’t wait to try this ay of transferring images. I usually do gel print transfer and then collage on. Thanks for sharing. New sub. :-)
Awesome! Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your support!
Thank you so much Ivy, I really really love ❤️ this, already it’s so stunning and gorgeous too, and I am looking forward to seeing what you do next. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
You are so welcome! So appreciate your support!
you probably dont give a damn but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Lukas James Instablaster =)
@Sylas Houston i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Sylas Houston It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
Great process instruction TFS
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this Great source of inspiration. Coming to basics Ivy, what kind of printer do you use?
I used this same image in a mixed media piece. I wish I could share it with you! A tip when you are tapping cover the wet section cover with wax or parchment paper and it will not rip
I love this transferring idea. What type of pictures Work best to transfer?
Im so glad i found your channel... new subbie here! Getting into art journaling and this video is super inspiring... thank you 😊
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for your kind comment and for subbing!! So appreciate that! Enjoy your art journal journey!
When you first said Evelyn Nesbitt, I was thinking of Elizabeth Sidall. I am not an artist at all. I'm merely an appreciator. I've seen the documentaries on the tragedies of each model, and while I initially confused the two, it's remarkable that times haven't really changed much.
Gel plate is another way to transfer images. And, speaking of “gateways” into art, is safe, easy, inexpensive and BIG, BIG FUN. 🎈🤸♂️🎈🤸♂️🎈I started making art after 20 years away from it working as a writer, with a gel plate. You can make standalone prints or images for collage or mixed media. But mostly it’s UNintimidating.
thanks for this tip Lynn! I need to try a Gel plate for sure! Sounds like a blast!!
Why is the advantage to transferring images against photocopying an image for collage making
Explain ink jet printing please I use an iPad and don’t use a computer having low vision
As for the dryer are using an hair dryer or is it specialised dryer ?
Why did you decide to do this in a sketch book ?
Thanks Lee
This is the best video I’ve seen about mixed media collage, I really appreciate it! Also, I know this is a really late comment, but I was wondering, in case one would like to sell prints out of collages made with magazine, books, etc… images and pages, where’s the limit with copyright? Do I need to produce every single piece?
Hello
Can also use pebeo transfert .
amazing work, new follower here and I cant wait to see what's next. let's stay connected.
Thanks so much!
New subscriber....really like your explanations and learning from you will be a learning experience.....thank you for sharing this video!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate your support!
I love this one so much- which class should i take that is like this?
can you do this type of transfer from an ink jet printer image ?
Why do people bother to make mean comments? It seems like a spiteful thing to do with no benefit at all. Those people may be lying to themselves saying they are giving constructive criticism, but if the wouldn’t say it to your face in front of their own mother they shouldn’t say it at all. In my humble opinion.
I completely agree....but I know that when people are mean it has WAY more to do with THEM than me. I just delete them and move on. Not worth the energy. Thank you for saying this though!!
Man, that one rubbed me the wrong way! 🤦🏻♀️
I just found this amazing, soft spoken, Informative, Artist and someone gonna be mean!?
Oh I don't usually comment on people like that,,, but it's 2021 and not this Year! 🤷🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣
Terrific and inspiring video. Is there a list of supplies used?
Thank you for this free lesson🙏It was absolutely beautiful! I'm so happy that i found it,you are very inspiring.I will jump right to your website🌺😊
What kind of transfer paper did you use on the picture in the middle,and what would you suggest to use on papers from books.If you dont use printer?:)
Thank you so much for watching. I used a print out from my laser printer to do the transfer. The paper was just regular printer paper. Check out this great article on transfer methods! There are so many! thegraphicsfairy.com/12-easy-image-transfer-methods-for-diy-projects/
@@IvyNewport Thank you❤🙏
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thanks a lot Ivy, for the awesome series you've made to share with the world! Very informative and inspiring! I learnt a lot! Keep pushing and God bless you!
First time viewer, I am impressed. I have to say also, you have beautiful hands. Do you have a link to the artist you mentioned?
I was just thinking "what beautiful hands", myself!
Thanks so much!! I'm sorry I missed this comment!! The artist I mentioned is Alphonse Mucha. I have a Pinterest Board dedicated to his work! Love it! You can see it here - www.pinterest.com/ivynewport/alphonse-mucha/
❤🌺🙏🏼❤
You can also do transfers from an inkjet printer.
My bad, I spoke too soon, you already knew that, lol 😂
yep,absolutely,when people also critisize work,they don't know,but you take the critisizm on the chin,and either take it or discard what they say,you can agree or disagree,or argue your point of view,well said,art is in the eye of the beholder,im an artist have been since i could hold a paint brush,which was 3,my mum was an artist,her aunt also,now my daughter,we are all different
Yes for sure! I'm glad this resonated with you! Thanks for commenting and sharing your experience.
This is my life,always criticised,even my mum did it,did not get my artwork,we are all different,thankyou.xxx
You just taught me a new word lol I had to google “copyrighted vs copywritten” & i not only learned that copyrighted is indeed a word but I also learned the difference between the 2 lol ya learn something new everyday, so they say lol
Very Frida Kahlo! Dig it.
Does this image transfer technique work on a canvas??
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you so much!
Hello Ivy, I absolutely love this art form. Having said that I have tried and tried to follow your instructions to no avail. Is it possible to give me a list of what kind of paper you use to print your images on and is mixed media paper the correct choice for a project. Looking forward to hearing from you.
It can take a few times to get a transfer to work! Trust me I have had several failed attempts too! I just use regular printer paper...nothing fancy. It takes practice to use the right amount of gel medium and the pressure to use. Do some small tests and see how you go. Good luck!
Great quote from Picasso who (along with Hemingway) was a misogynistic, narcissistic jerk, his genius aside. When someone once asked him what art was, he replied, “What is not?” Good to mention when anybody says collage isn’t an authentic art.
Totally agree!!! LOL!
Hello, thank you Ivy. Are you using a special or specific transfer paper.
? Also which type of printer is best for printing transfers?
Really good questions!
@@neuroticnation144 I think Ivy answers these questions further along in the comments .
No I'm not using any special paper. I have the best luck with laser prints...but you can use inkjet...it's just best to spray them with a fixative first like a krylon spray to prevent the ink from running when you do the transfer. I would recommend doing some tests and see what results you get.
I am curious as to the thought process as to when to do a transfer and when to just glue the picture on there. Probably preference and thinking maybe a transfer is flat where gluing the picture would have an edge.... just pondering your thoughts
It's a matter of preference either is fine. It's just the end look will be quite different. One will be smoother, have a cleaner look where the other might have a bumpy uneven feel and look to it.
Yes it is mostly preference...it just depends the effect you are trying to achieve. Obviously a transfer doesn't leave you with cut edges like pasting on an image would. :)
You can be good at drawing, but you can lack when it comes to composition, so I think that making collages is a very good exercise for that. It's not so easy to make a beautiful collage even when you have beautiful materials.
Good work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Does copywrite matter if you create for gifts or your home?
Prints from Laser printer is easily transfered with aceton.
Is the transfer an ink jet copy?
Can you use your transfer technique on magazine pictures without printing image? I have a inkjet printer.
I think so, it really depends on the inks used in the magazine. I would do some testing and see what you discover. It's all about experimentation! Have fun and thanks for watching!
Picasso and Matisse did collage!!!
That's right they sure did!
Love it! Are you using gel medium? What about Mod Podge or white glue?
Thank you! Yes I love using Golden Soft Gel Matte Medium.
Liquid glue (like MP or white glue like Elmer’s) wrinkles paper.
So somewhere you discuss your color pallets for the month. I tried to find a video about it but I don’t see any looking through your videos, do you have a video where you talk about creating color pallets?
Yes I do create color palettes each month for our Studioworks Membership. Each month I release an online magazine that includes a color palette, articles on the creative life, meditations, sketchbook prompts, a video lesson and more...you can check it out here... ivynewport.com/studioworks
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
😻
Collage is my favorite art form but it is an art form that takes lots of practice. I still feel I haven't found my technique and it frustrates me sometimes.
Yes you are right for sure! It can be frustrating but it's worth it right? :)
can you make a video about what magazines and books you get you clippings from .. like which ones are you favorites . where you get them , and what you recommend ? .. I love seeing those videos ... thanks your videos are great and i enjoy watching them
Great idea! I can let you know that I love Anthropologie catalogues and Bella Grace magazine for cut outs. I have a Pinterest board full of vintage images that you can check out here - www.pinterest.com/ivynewport/vintage-portraits/
Plus I love unsplash.com for copyright free images...you can see my collections here - unsplash.com/@ivynewport/collections
Hope this helps in the meantime. :) Thanks for watching!
@@IvyNewport thanks a lot ... I .. I always think that I there is a great untapped resource that I have yet to find and I'm missing out on. Lol so I'm always on the look out ... Thanks for letting me know
I go to book store and look through their magazines and catalogs. Then purchase best.
Thrifts shops and garage sales are a treasure trove of vintage images and most of the glossy magazines have images that transfer directly without needing to be copied. I consider the treasure hunt for images part of the artistic process and it helps train your eye. I collect my images in 3 shelves of notebooks or Itoya portfolios and notebooks labeled Flora, fauna, women, foreign languages and business papers, Childrens, Victorian, etc
I'm just now learning about this type of art. This is amazing.
Thank you so much!
Just wondering if, while you are gently rubbing the paper backing off, if you could lightly wet a larger portion of the picture on which you're working, to have it soak a tiny bit and make it easier to rub off?
Yes you could try that for sure! Great idea.
Fun👍Do u prefer mat medium to modpodge to sticking down your ephemera
I do. Matte Medium tends to be less sticky for me. :)
How heavy is your mix media paper?
Lovely work. What glue do you use?
Thank you! I use Matte Gel Medium by Golden
Can u use any photo?
I like your work. May I know where could I buy the poppy collage paper? I searched on Amazon and I didn’t find any. Thank you.
It was a napkin I found and I no longer have them so just keep your eye out for floral napkins you enjoy! Thanks for watching!
what kind of paper did you print your main image on?
Hi there. I just used regular printer paper...nothing fancy.
Your sketchbook seems not to warp much. CAn you share what you used? And thank you. This was very interesting to watch.
Thanks so much! Yes I use a Canson Watercolor Sketchbook.
@@IvyNewport TYVM!!!
This was fun! Holy Moly! You have beautiful hands! could be a hand model! Do you play piano per chance?
Thanks so much! lol! I don't play piano, but I've been asked that many times in the past! :) Thanks for watching !
Um can modpash work also
the transferring technique is cool, but a lot of work. What is the advantage of doing this vs just gluing/ decoupaging the image after fussy cutting?
Yes it is a bit of work but the advantage is the image feels more integrated...with little to no raised edge as you would get just gluing on an image.
Absolutely gorgeous! hello, new to your channel. Could you put that on canvas and do that on canvas. And then like varnish it or like polyurethane it or you know coat it with something.
Hi thank you so much! Yes you absolutely could do that!!
@@IvyNewport thanks you
