  • Learn the basics of making a collage in this tutorial. You will learn what materials you can use, how to put it together, and some simple composition tips. As a bonus I included my favorite collage tool, packing tape, and how I use it to make transfers. You can use anything to make a collage, it is just combining elements. This is how I like to collage. Enjoy!

    Damn talk about knowledge is POWER. This why I cherish people and the net! In a few seconds someone was kind to share what they know about collaging to me and others. Blessings. Lets all share positive things we know. THANK YOU (10:18)

    I've been trying to learn how to create a good composition ever since my brain injury; thank you for your tips but I don't know if I can do them: I think the bit of brain that did this is one of the areas which are damaged now, but I do the best I can! I've never seen this clear packing tape in the UK (only Sellotape is clear but much narrower): it's always brown; and in the UK 'masking tape' isn't like that at all (you used both terms): it's beige and not as wide as what you used here.

      @jennyhughes4474 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@mariarascon5031 Yes, thanks, but with brain injury we forget what we've learned so have to repeat more often = exhausting & VERY demotivating often = UNLESS we have enough small successes (that WE count as 'successes', not others' opinions) as 'rewards', otherwise it's an endless slog.

    I have a box that I made a little diorama in (Alice In Wonderland themed with some Beatles refs thrown in. It's for my friend who I have a crush on and she likes the Beatles and Rabbits and Alice in Wonderland, so I incorporated that into the diorama. However, I didn't know how to decorate the outside (I don't have paints) but then a friends suggested a collage. So, I spent hrs searching for pictures she would like (most based off movies or bands she likes) and now I'm here to learn how to put them all together.

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  4 роки тому +2

      I have never had to seal it after the tape is. usually sticky enough to keep it together, but if you are worried you could, or you could frame it with glass and that would keep it together

    I just have one question, how do you paste the transfered areas to paper, so that the glue won´t ruin the transparecy?

    • @craftyblock7519
      @craftyblock7519 Рік тому

      Mod podge!
      Mod podge is a clear glue and varnish that sticks and leaves your image transparent! You can use it on multiple of surfaces :) but like she said, make sure not to use a unnecessary amount or your paper will buckle :) to use all you do is take your mod podge and glue your collage down and then go over it with a thin coating of mod podge directly over your collage to seal, do not worry about your image disappearing. After the glue is dried your image will be visible! TIP:
      If you don’t have access to mod podge a good alternative diy is to mix 10 tbs of PVA glue (school glue) with 2 and 1/2 tbs of water together and use it :)

    What’s a good way to get the full quality of your college on to the computer? Flatbed scanners or just taking a picture of your finished product ?

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  4 роки тому

      I find that scanners are the clearest but if your collage is very layered you may still get some shadows on a scanner, in that case, a camera and daylight is the best tools

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  2 роки тому

      I don’t add anything over the top, I just use the little bit of tackiness left in the tape. The bubbles need to be out when it is applied to the image, you can use a bone folder or ruler to press it flat

    Hi, how do you glue the transferred image to a paper/ canvas, and second what material is best as canvas, I don't want to have "wet" work.

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  15 днів тому

      I have used watercolor paper, newsprint, and wood. The transparency usually has enough sticky residue left in the back the it will hold it to the surface. A glue stick would also work as well as one more piece of packing tape
