You made it look so effortless. Im so intimidated by Photoshop. But you've inspired my creativity. I just need to go for it. I have beautiful art I want to release on canvas. God I wish you could work with me. So glad I found your channel. ❤
Thank you so much for your kind words! You really should not be intimidated by Photoshop. There are so many helpful tutorials on TH-cam. Just start setp by step. So glad I can inspire you to create. GO FOR IT! And let me know your results
Wow Amazing , I loved watching your process, I just got into collage myself ,,, purely amateur, for fun … but I love your esthetic, glad I saw your channel …
Super Cool. I don't have Photoshop, so I may need to try another program to do the collage. Get idea of getting paper from the streets to create your collage. I should try that ;-) Thank you for sharing.
Hi Stella! You don't need photoshop. I don't use Photoshop on most of my artworks. This was more of a test. Check out this collage of Frida: th-cam.com/video/NPLsfjVUX8Q/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=OvidiuSolcan
Very cool. I wonder if it’s possible in the future to add captions? I have ADHD/audio processing difficulties. It would be more accessible to me & possibly others, to read and hear what creators are saying.
Thank you! Actually I don't 😊. Some minor difference will not impact the final result :). However a good white balance set on the camera will ensure a pretty close match.
Foarte fain a iesit. Si e impresionant sa vezi tot procesul. Arata foarte bine Frida Kahlo, zici ca e membra a unei benzi de gangsgeri cu tatuaje pe fata :)
no, they do not. I use a UV protection varnish. I am not sure if they will last for 100 years but my 10 years old collages still look very good. they did not fade 😀
Super-cool process, and the final looks amazing. I like how you combine analog techniques and digital tools for a truly unique piece. Do wrinkles settle down when it dries, or do you consider them part of the charm? I always stress, but there doesn't seem to be any way to avoid them. Thanks for letting us see how you create!
Well, i usually use Elle magazine. You should be able to find really easy depending on where you are from. But any fashion magazine should do it. Just be creative with what you find. I sometimes can't do it til the end. I just don't upload my mistakes :))
Thanks so much. I've just been making my own and they look pretty good but I'm ready for something a little different and I came across your channel and love your style. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the tip.
Hi, Ovidiu! I was so excited to find you and your extraordinary work! Quick question, how do you know what size to make your printouts so that the faces you use aren't too small for your canvas? LOL I always struggle with getting printouts of my digital work too small to collage on the canvas I'm using--they're never in proportion! I appreciate any advice you can lend and thank you again for being so generous in sharing your process! Truly grateful!
So glad you like my art. 🙏 I first create a file in Photoshop the size of the canvas. Then I scale the photo I took to this size and overly it and save it as pdf. Print it with page scaling: none. And that's it 😀
@@ovidiu.solcan I cannot thank you enough! That makes perfect sense! I'm beyond inspired to try this out for myself. What an incredible gift you have given the world by sharing your creativity! Thank you!
It really depends on a lot of things. It is a highly complex issue. Only a lawyer can answer this for each piece of art. You can check the story of *Barack Obama "Hope" poster* by Shepard Fairey for a similar issue.
I will check it cos etsy and shopify are full of mixed media asrtisrs prints of their work like dain nyc and i was wondering or all of these major brands even on bi like dior using the classic converse style as his in their new collection etc… or these sculptures with mouse like ears style like minnie etc but they are ugly in a way lol
If you're talking about copyright you need to check the law and the copyright terms of the picture you use. Also you need to take care of the way you use your art - for practice? For selling? For comercial use? And so on
@@ovidiu.solcan omggg i started a s a hobby because i was selling on etsy etc art journals and mixed media and i saw artista using art deco inspired people james dean ols cinema people etc and collages… then some people ask me to do them some pieces i didnt to art school or something but i like it so much

Ça tombe bien j étais à Cadaquès hier .Cdlt.
Very cool. I wonder if it’s possible in the future to add captions? I have ADHD/audio processing difficulties. It would be more accessible to me & possibly others, to read and hear what creators are saying.
Wow
That’s interesting, and turned out great. Thank you for sharing your process.
Yes, I think it’s a great series idea. =)
Thank you so much! Yes, Frida is next :)
You’re welcome. =) Cool. =)
So gut ❤

Thank you! You motivate me to make more!
👍👍👍👍👍 SUPER
Hi, im from Brazil, your work is amazing
Thanks! I appreciate it
Beautiful work! How do you ensure that the print colours match exactly with the original work?
Thank you! Actually I don't 😊. Some minor difference will not impact the final result :). However a good white balance set on the camera will ensure a pretty close match.
I love your process. Like putting a puzzle together. Awesome ! Please do regular people. Not famous ! 🙏
Thanks, yeah just like a puzzle. And Yes, I will do also regular people, not only famous :)
Very impressive and cool 🙏🏻
What filter did you use for Dali in PS?
Thank you! The filter is color halftone 😎
@@ovidiu.solcanthank you. I have the german version and had to klick through it. Now In found that filter, really cool 🎉✌🏻

Asa e! Asta imi place :) ca pare gangsta :))

Wonderfully creative. Does the finished product fade over time?
no, they do not. I use a UV protection varnish. I am not sure if they will last for 100 years but my 10 years old collages still look very good. they did not fade 😀
holy fk that looks amazing
Thank you so much! 😀 check out this one: th-cam.com/video/LrBgE_eaUsc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HOqxD-LgHXJo0BVf

Yeah, no way to avoid them. They do become smaller when it dries and some even disappear. Thank you for your appreciation!
Ok i have what probably is areally dumb question.... if i cant find posters like you do around my town what can I do to get a similar outcome ?
Well, i usually use Elle magazine. You should be able to find really easy depending on where you are from. But any fashion magazine should do it. Just be creative with what you find. I sometimes can't do it til the end. I just don't upload my mistakes :))
Thanks so much. I've just been making my own and they look pretty good but I'm ready for something a little different and I came across your channel and love your style. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the tip.
Wooow pleas can you tell me what should i study to learn how to modify it with computer like you did
Photoshop. Just the basics. Really easy. I'm sure you can find tutorials on TH-cam

What are you using to glue the newspaper to the canvas ?
I used Décopatch - Aqua Pro Exterior Varnish - UV & Water Resistant, Suitable for Outdoor & Exterior Use - Porvides a Protective Coating
Hi there if you want to sell a mixed media piece is it legal? Coz you are using someones else face?
It really depends on a lot of things. It is a highly complex issue. Only a lawyer can answer this for each piece of art. You can check the story of *Barack Obama "Hope" poster* by Shepard Fairey for a similar issue.
@@ovidiu.solcan thank you my love
I will check it cos etsy and shopify are full of mixed media asrtisrs prints of their work like dain nyc and i was wondering or all of these major brands even on bi like dior using the classic converse style as his in their new collection etc… or these sculptures with mouse like ears style like minnie etc but they are ugly in a way lol
Try this in a small town……
I totally understand you... just use recycled magazine paper as I usually do
Who people can you use wih no problem?
Not sure I understand the questions
If you're talking about copyright you need to check the law and the copyright terms of the picture you use. Also you need to take care of the way you use your art - for practice? For selling? For comercial use? And so on
@@ovidiu.solcan omggg i started a s a hobby because i was selling on etsy etc art journals and mixed media and i saw artista using art deco inspired people james dean ols cinema people etc and collages… then some people ask me to do them some pieces i didnt to art school or something but i like it so much
That's great 👍 👏
😇🙏😇
Hope you like it 😋
@@ovidiu.solcan yes👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
I make the same
Wow, that's great! can I see some of your artworks?

You're good 👍 but I would say a latin accent :) I am Romanian.
