- Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!
I'm back from my break and I want to wish you a very happy new year!
I get a lot of questions about making a collage and combining it with drawing. And i learned it just recently. I learned form Marina Grechanik, at a workshop that I took last year, to make different compositions and draw on top.
It's all about color, textures and shapes, but also about letting go. Don't be precious about the compositions you make. Don't get attached, because you are going to draw all over the perhaps beautiful finished collage that you made.
I really enjoy playing with collage, so today I would like to show you how I prepare a page with collage, to draw on top of it later.
I will use collage pieces that I collected during workshop trips I took last year on Italy, France, Portugal and Malta.
You'll see me selecting my collage pieces and choosing my color palette from them.
Then I'll play with composition, refine things, and glue everything down onto the page.
If you want to learn more about composition and layout, then you could watch this video I made: • Layout And Composition...
Your assignment this week is to make a composition with at least 2 different pieces of collage material. Explore color combinations and textural variety.
You might think you don't have any collage materials, but you'll find things quickly: a printed piece of paper, part of a brown paper bag, some tissue paper that came with a delivery... don't be discouraged if you've never done this. if you have a glue stick... everyone can do this!
Materials used:
-Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook, Size A5,
-Pieces of paper, collected from trips (paper cutlery holder, watercolor washed paper, bread basket paper, brown paper bag, magazine
-glue stick
-scissors

Happy New Year Koosje! Gosh have I missed draw tip Tuesday! Lol, so good to see you back, Thank you 🥰xxx
You are so welcome! I am happy to be back.
I've been enjoying collage lately, but hadn't really thought about using it as a foundation for a drawing rather than just its own thing! I love that idea, thank you.
I hope you’ll try it
This made me smile! My kind of sketchbook time. ❤
Any kind of creative time is well spent sketchbook time!
Yeah you’re back! Like you, I just love collecting my own memorabilia and scraps (rather than buying mass-produced ephemera online), And, constructing envelope at back of sketchbook to store extras and repurpose junk mail! Can’t wait to collage draw with you. Thank you Koosje
We collect so much paper from packaging, envelopes, and other daily things… No need to buy ephemera if you look around. I agree! Have fun.
Sewing machine pattern paper is fab..very strong and very transparent
It's strong? It seems so fragile like tissue paper
Great idea
Happy New Year!!! Thanks for starting my year off with great inspiration!
You are so welcome! Happy new year!
I've been looking forward to this! Thank you so much for this video! ❤ Can't wait to see what you draw on top next week!
Just a little under a week and you’ll see….
I saw an interesting collage the other day
An artist had taken sn image they liked maybe from a magazine or something. They glued that to the left hand page of their sketchbook. Then on the right hand side, they tried to recreate that image. It came out really close. The colors were pretty much perfect
I might try that method to break the ice and get started
That’s an interesting idea.
I hope you feel recharged from your break but we have all missed spending Tuesday with you! Welcome back!
I sure do feel recharged, thank you! I am happy to be back!
Love it! Collage is so relaxing. Cut (or rip) and paste heaven! 😊
I totally agree!
Oh, my, I’m excited to see what develops from this collage.
Just a few days and you’ll see….
What a wonderful video! You gave me inspiration for lots of new projects. Can’t wait to see your drawing on top of the collage next week!
I'm so glad!
I enjoyed as alway's Koosje... Can’t wait to the next video 😊
Gtrzzz From Purmerend

You made me want to go collage ❤ Thanks for sharing!
Go for it!
Glad to see you back. Happy new year. ❤🎉😊
Happy to be back. Happy new year to you too!
I cant wait! Finished my collage too. I’m anxious to see the drawing you will make on top.
I hope you'll have fun drawing on top!
@@KoosjeKoeneThanks, Koosje, for all you do to inspire everyone. I didnt have time to draw on top of my collage yet but as soon as I finish I Will post my piece😉❤
Wonderful!
Glad you think so!
I love collage...
It’s so fun!
Great! You've inspired me to use collage in the zines I'm making this year - one per month, hopefully. :)
Oh, I love zines! Great idea.
So happy you’re back! I so look forward to seeing your video every Tuesday
Yay! Thank you!
Happy New Year Koosje. 🎉 great video.
You too. Thanks!
I bought your book and it is sensational. I’m curious, does drawing inspire or not in the creation of your abstract paintings. They look very nice peeking out from behind you. ❤
When I paint, it’s all abstract and it feels like a different universe… I am still too much of a beginner as an abstract painter to really see relationships / influences between the two disciplines
And thank you for buying my book! I’m glad you like it.
You're baaaack💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 welcome back 🤗
May EL-ROI (The GOD That Sees You) cause HIS MERCY and HELP to be the foundation of you and your family's 2024. More Grace, Fresh Strength and More Favour and Helpers this 2024!!!
Thank you! Best wishes for you!
