Making Collage Paper with Stencils

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 มี.ค. 2021
  • This week, I demonstrate how I’ve been using stencils to make my own collage paper for use in my paintings.
    I find that I achieve a different, looser feel by painting onto tissue paper and gluing it down than if I had just painted directly onto the board. I love seeing the contrast between the stencil designs and the hand painted bits.
    Let me know if you try incorporating stencils into your paintings and how they turn out!
    I am on a mission to help artists find their own unique voice and make exciting, original artwork that is truly unique. If this sounds exciting, join my weekly artist's newsletter at www.louisefletcherart.com/con...
    Each week, I share tips, tricks, advice, and inspiration to help you take your art to the next level.

    I’m addicted to your videos! Thank you for sharing so freely. Have you ever tried using a stencil brush? It would make paler patterns, I imagine from using them on walls. This may not work for you, but I keep collage papers of various kinds in 3-ring binders with clear plastic pocket pages. Easy to flip through. I use one pocket for all of a certain category, not a pocket per sheet. Keeps them together and I just remove the bundle and flip through when I’m looking for something.

    This French tissue paper "hack" is revolutionary! It costs 3 or 4 times more on US Amazon, but being able to make exactly what one wants and needs for any particular piece is game-changing. Thank you a million times, dear Louise! Love your work and your fabulous tips!

    Love the series that you're working on. Great tips about collage paper....I've been printing with the thin sheets of foam that come in packages for crafts - from the dollar store...I draw shapes into them by pressing into the foam with a blunt pencil, cover them with paint then print onto thin paper...Your use of stencils and tissue paper is way more efficient..
