    I just pulled out a bunch of old sketchbooks.... this is so inspiring! Now I am pulling out my boxes of "potential collage" papers that have been collecting "potential" for decades now, lol. But, its just given me a whole new supply of art supplies!

      I should never be ashamed of being a "hoarder" 🙈😅 I still have many things full of "potential". Even though I didn't started to use them yet, I believe they are my potentials.

    I had the pleasure to see Matisse art with my own eyes in New York. Your work is inspiring.

    They are all lovely! I never thought they were made of cut paper because all elements blended so beautifully. ❤ I love the idea of letting scissors "draw".

    Incredible work. I would love to see your process for making your own papers.

  • @ATC.Tigerlily

    👏 I love how you "recycle" your sketchbook as inspiration and create something completely new that’s also familiar at the same time. And using torn paper seems such a wonderful, playful way to make art and the outcome is beautiful. 🖼️

    How lovely and brilliant to encourage a sense of novelty, ease and playfulness through a medium like this. Play is good for the soul and often the gateway into our more serious efforts while being of equal value. It’s like how tiger cubs play to practice fighting. Play is our model for work. If you’re a sculptor, you can go out and buy some play-dough, that’s okay. If you’re an oil painter you can go get some finger paints or crayons if you’re an illustrator. We do need to remind ourselves of that novelty and not take everything so seriously, sometimes. Another small note for those who want to do this is that you don’t have to create your own textures or papers, just go to any craft store and see what they have that you could use, or maybe bust out some old Christmas wrapping or washi tape or origami paper. Lots of options. If you only have white paper you can color or texture it any way you like and you can incorporate any kind of textures or materials you like. You don’t even need to use paper. Collage is definitely underrated.

    That’s stunning ❤️❤️ When I’m gluing a collage I just lift an edge or corner of each piece up, then glue that down. So the pieces are kinda half glued so they won’t fall out of place. Then I’ll lift them up and add more glue starting at the underneath pieces to stick them down properly. It’s hard to describe but saves time lifting them all off and trying to put them back in the right positions x

    I knew a photographer in the 70’s who used to do this and I was enthralled by it ever since.
    Your work is just beautiful and compelling (like Matisse, who’s work I also admire and enjoy) and I have saved so much paper…Im going to start something now, thank you!

    Wow! I absolutely love your collages Jenny! So glad I found your post as I am returning to my artwork after a three (maybe 4) year long creative block. I have always wanted to try collage and I love your idea of recycling paper and old artwork. Thank you so much for sharing your technique ❤ I have now subscribed to your channel!

  • @angelaem205

    I love the drawings used as the base for the artworks. I love collages and I have been making them since I was very little, some times with mixed materials but mainly with paper. Paper is truly a magic material, its weight, its glossiness, its rough edges, its clean cut edges. Each piece creates endless possibilities. And yes I wish I photographed my collages before I glued them down, sometimes you miss out on some details you wanted to add, if you don't have a photo reference. Congratulations for your wonderful artwork! Inspirational and relaxing to watch! 👍😍🥰👌

    Your work is so beautiful! I’m a big fan of Matisse too. I love that he found a way to work even when he was ill and that he simplified his art even further. Years ago I tried drawing with paper. This makes me want to try it again.

      You do know that artists have been creating/"painting" with paper for over a century. Two of the most influential early 20th century US artist painting with "cut papers" were Romare Bearden (and Lois Mailou Jones). This is not new...

      ​@TiWanTiWa Abibiman You didn't hear her mention being inspired by Matisse - who also did cut/torn paper collage? Possibly listen in again where she mentions him toward the beginning of the vid.

    Wonderful video. It's been a while since I 'played', and collage (my Sweetie calls the 'collisions', which I love) is my go-to for escaping. One thing I love about tearing paper is that the edge will vary depending on which way you tear. Pulling it toward you creates that exciting white jagged 'border'.

    Jenny, thank you for sharing your technique and the inspiration and beauty plus experimentation of your works. Quite coincidentally, Id' just embarked on a similar tree experiment you describe I your previous videos. I'm from Vermont USA, now living in New Hampshire, also full of trees in different seasonal poses. I came across your tree series and it's given me the courage and permission to continue with trees; putting aside some little voice telling me I should diversify more.

The collage representations of Cornwall and Italy are just lovely. Do you ever do workshops online? I would really enjoy wandering through your processes from pallet selection to final touches!! I am a very late ‘bloomer’ so have a great deal to catch up on!! Thank you again! Merry ((Tavira, SE Portugal)
