Creating Abstract Collages

So many choices!

Given only a handful of large painted collage papers, you can create many possibilities for a painting.

It could be an inspiration for another piece, or a finished piece itself.

In this video I will show you 7 different possibilities for paintings using only a handful of large painted papers.

While laying down and moving around the papers on a large 30×48” canvas, I also explain my thought process in the design of each of the pieces.

Being aware of why you are making a design choice is important and can help you to easily problem solve along the way.

The artist Henri Matisse has always been one of my favorites and his collage paintings — in which he “painted with scissors” — have always inspired me.

Things don’t have to be overly complicated or complex to be a great painting.

You can achieve success with minimalism if you put things together in an extraordinary way.

Please watch till the end because you don’t want to miss all 7 of the designs.
