- How I Collage... and Why.
Welcome back to another BobBlast!
I prefer paintings that have a well-traveled storyline. I can feel the artist's involvement and appreciate the time it took to complete the finished painting.
For me, adding bits of collage paper throughout the whole painting process keeps me entertained and creatively involved. Like a kid playing in a sandbox... I glue paper pieces down, add paint, glue more paper pieces, scrape, scrumble and wipe away to reveal the surprises underneath.
After this initial blast of creative energy in the first few minutes, I stop and let the the whole thing dry. While it is drying, I take the time to study the painting so I can make any adjustments with color and paper - until the image conveys a clear message and matches the title... clearly.
By the way, I'm not too fond of collage paintings that have randomly placed "scrapes" and glued papers that have no connection to the overall piece - or to each other. They just look like what the artist did... glued down paper pieces with no solid intention other than hope something "creative" shows up.
And finally - the collage material I prefer is ordinary black ink Xerox copies of patterns and textures. Here is a link for copyright free patterns - www.graphicsto...
This is just one link - there are more!
There are quite a few good books available on collage techniques. I prefer to keep my materials simple, add intricate textured surprises and make a painting I have never seen me make before.
But wait! There's more! No holding back at this point. I like to use soft charcoal vine sticks to draw back into the painting - just because I like to draw. The dirtiest charcoal crumbling into the wet paint is just so wrong, but feels so right.
Keep it gooey!
I've been stagnant in creating. I came across your videos and it got me out of bed and into my studio. I gathered all my materials and did three collages on small canvases. I'm in love.
I swear the happiest people are those who CREATE. Love your energy, Bob!
Totally agree with you!
I like the way you collage and paint at the same time. I AM INSPIRED! :)
Thanks Bob!
I have tried and tried again to get my feelings onto canvas, I now realise that I've been too uptight and aiming for perfection instead of enjoying the process.
thanks for reminding us that we shouldn't think too hard about what we're doing.
But be sure to pay attention to the road when you're driving in city traffic.
Wow! Thank you for being completely uncomplicated and sharing techniques with like minded people . Your work is inspirational
I am a messy artist which doesn’t annoy me except when I have to use glue. I found this in a search watched it and two more videos straight through. For the first time in way too long I actually finished a project and these videos were a huge boost. I’m so glad I found this account!!!
Your videos are pure fun, liberating and so inspiring. Thank you.
You are a breath of fresh air! I'm an abstract painter for many years and ready for a change... so interested in collage and now I have found my inspiration on ...you tube. I love your casual approach and the fact that you don't put yourself on a pedestal, neither do I. Thank you for thiese videos,Robert
I love this video and you just light up when do your work! I love your energy!
Thank you Michelle!
Fun to see another artists approach. One can always learn that way. Thanks for doing your vids. You make me more brave about bringing in color.
Gorgeous color. When that orange-rose paint showed up on top I gasped in awe.
I love the surprises!
I never comment on anything but after watching a few of your videos I think they are fantastic. Thanks!
This is the way I assemble quilt tops. Collect bags of scraps, then sew them together. It's much more fun than cutting patterns.
I LOVE HIM. Such a breath of fresh air after watching hours of the hoity toity 'artists' create art collages. Thank you Bob.
I just came across your collage video...the first I've seen of your work. I loved it! Your positive, fun attitude was marvelous, your demonstration absolutely perfect...short and sweet, but to the point. I can't wait to try this method. Thank you!

„Look at that…ohhhh“🤣🤣🤣🤣
dude, this was exactly what I was looking for thanks
I'm torn (original pun, feel free to steal).... watch more of your videos or make a beeline for my studio?
.... Studio wins. Your fault
.
THANK YOU. ALWAYS ENJOYING PAINTING ALONG WITH YOU!
Yeah! Everyone should do this stuff! So much fun & better than therapy. I feel better just watching you 🤣
I love your spirit. Never met you. And never will. But I just wanted to say... you're one awesome "stranger".
I shouldn't speak too quickly... maybe I SHOULD MEET YOU at your classes. LOL!
Why am I getting this video in 2022?. This guy is AWESOME! Love it, Mr. Rob!
Hi Alvaro - Sometimes when I am traveling for workshops and out of my studio, we send out a "Best of BobBlast" from the archives. Maybe that is why? Or some odd TH-cam algorithm? I am glad you are enjoying. All the BobBlasts are archived on my website - www.RobertBurridge.com.
Wow you r so amazing!! Inspired anyone to paint💪😎
M encanta ! I love the color
Do you take random pieces of paper from different sources that are not acid free? I’m asking because I’m curious but I want to make sure it’s archival.
Loved your work and energy!!!
Hi Love your video. I tried my hand at collage for the first time but was frustrated when I found most of my paper had air bubbles when it dried. What did I do wrong?
Very talented but I am one of those people that like a whole painting!!👏🎨
you are great!
Your videos are so helpful and fun. Thanks so much for all the help.
This was great, thanks Bob! QUESTION: does the paper fade? If so, how long before it does??
It will fade, came up with a solution while watching this ... archival inks ... more expensive but it will last. I have other ideas too but ...
The paper is covered with acrylic which is plastic, then varnished at the end. Most people don't leaving their paintings sitting out in the sun, so why you stressing? Have fun. It will last for your lifetime.
waue your great
I've not seen any of your Bob-Blasts before - inspirational! I wanna go play RIGHT NOW! Thank you.

Love this Robert...this is my favourite kind of collage. Keep up the great videos
Thank you, I like your technique a lot and will try it. I never heard of gel medium and will get some.
This was delightful! I love collage but I can see that I am way too careful and tight with it after watching you have fun. I need to loosen up!
You're amazing!! keep it up :) love your videos, they're really inspiring
Very inspiring!
this is so inspiring! Love your work. thank you for sharing. Can you please explain when you finish with that paper infront of you how do you put it on the wall? do you put it in a piece of canvas or a wood? thank you
Fabulous collage! My kind of art! Thanks for the inspiration.
So glad I found you! Wanted to try collage with some abstract painting I did!
I love how you dive into your work and are not concerned about getting your hands dirty.
Thank you for sharing !
Your an excellent teacher😊
Thank you very much!
so cool!!
I discovered collage in high school... but not in my art classes. Then didn't get back to it until now, at 70! When you scraped the paint off the first time, revealing those b&w lines, I gasped in delight! Thank you so much for a seminal moment in my collage adventure! I love your sense of play and freedom--and love of surprise!
How fun! I am a collage artist but my technique is way different. I want to try this now.
I have always loved your style and energy... very inspirational.
