Thanks Deborah glad it was helpful. I think these projects do give some unexpected returns on investment of time. It’s closely related to but different to painting. The swapping and changing of pieces and the ‘what ifs’ is quite instructive too!
Thanks Liz. A reminder for me to get some more Gelli prints organized before camping as these sized projects are fun to do while traveling as well. Maybe 1 a day relating to where we are camped.
Hi Anna You are welcome- yes getting materials ready for travelling is a must- yes that’s a good idea -it’s nice to have your art charting your travels!- good luck with it.
🎉 Thank you, it's super inspiring & helpful to hear your thought process as you create a layout..I'm going to begin with a 2wk daily challenge now. Do you use your own torn work (esp.for the black &white line scraps )or is most of them found/magazine ephemera?
Hi Ellen I’m glad you enjoyed the video and great you are going to do your own challenge. Yes I mostly use my own work as shared at the beginning of the video, at least for this challenge. It’s easy and quite fun to make black and white mark making sheets ( as I show in my making your mark course)
In my first art class as an adult we sometimes did collage and I hated it because I had no idea what to do,- how to choose and arrange. I find it ironic I now use collage a lot, but always with paint under or over. Pure collage would be good for me to try again.
Hi Karla yes it would because it’s quite different. I too use collage a lot but I’ve not used it like this before. The trick is to have a wide variety of papers- including with marks and lines and different patterns as well as neutrals and plain.
Thank you for your generous tips and preparing your viewers of the forthcoming course. They are beautuful collages Liz.
You are most welcome Leila. Thank you.
Great. I am following you as you go along.
This is just a tiny taster. My course which explores collage in much more detail is here: lizackerley.podia.com/your-collage-compositions
Thank you Liz uncovering the mystery of collaging. In my case a newbie. A brillient put together video.
You are very welcome Leila - I’m glad you enjoyed it. There will be more to come on this in the future!
Thank you for your incredibly informative and helpful videos.
You are very welcome Susan I am so glad that you enjoy them.
Great tips thanks for sharing. It will be fun to see it unfold.

It is nice to hear you talk about the tiny details noticed while gluing bits down. A continuation of a line or a shape makes my heart skip a beat!
Thanks Margaret - I’m so glad the discussions had that effect! Sometimes it’s the tiny details that make a piece special!
wow.. how fun.. thanks for posting Liz
You are welcome Marie
Hi Liz, thanks for articulating your thought process while making the collage. I really enjoyed watching this.
thank you so much Angela. I am so glad that the video was helpful. I find that the more I do of these collages the more I learn!
I have made a few collages in the past, but for year 2024 I intend to do more and more regularly... so your tutorials are very helpful !!!
I’m glad my videos are helpful. Collage is a great way of exploring composition.
