Very nice Susan! Love your collage! Sounds like you have a great future ahead of you in Florida! I lived in Ft Myers Beach ages ago! Summers 80% humidity! But the winters were awesome! Nothing like a walk on the beach picking up shells!
Thanks for this, Susan. As a digital mixed media artist I have been wanting to incorporate some of my prints of digital paintings into collage but was worried about the ink smearing. This came just in time! I've ordered some of the Aleene's acrylic sealer and feel more confident going forward with that. Your piece looks great!
I’ve just recently found your channel and have been enjoying watching your videos very much. I know you use different types of paper. I found some great prints online but didn’t know they were card stock thickness. How do you handle different thicknesses on your collage ? Should I scrap the idea of using both ? Thank you for your videos
I use mostly copy paper and rice paper. The rice paper is a little thinner and a little transparent. When collage with the two it's not a problem. I tried thick paper and I found it stuck to the plate sometimes. Because of the layers that make the thickness, I guess.
Really enjoyed this. Were you using gloss or matte medium on this? And what are you going ti finush it with? You memtioned glossy. Do you taje your own art photos?Thanks for sharing.
I use gloss medium. Liquitex brand. I plan to add a glossy finish with Liquitex pouring medium. Right from the bottle. Not mixed with anything. Right now it's being photographed by a photographer. When I try to do it myself they are fine for posting online but not for print reproduction. So I have a local guy do it. Then after he photographs it I put the glossy finish. We get a better reproduction that way.
It was part of a pack of sample collage papers. I'm not sure where I got it. The papers were really tiny. I will try to find it in bigger sheets. Art supply stores, like Jerry's Artarama, have papers like this.

We have a nephew who lives in ft Myers beach. It’s a beautiful area. Still recovering from hurricane Ian.
So enjoyable to watch! And such useful information too. Love the paper that you used for her skin, and the shading you incorporated. Beautiful!
Thanks.

This is great. What program do you use to make your digital art?
I use Adobe Illustrator. I create patterns with the text and shades of grey. I try to keep each grey shade on a separate layer.

Where did you get the transparent yellow paper from
It was part of a pack of sample collage papers. I'm not sure where I got it. The papers were really tiny. I will try to find it in bigger sheets. Art supply stores, like Jerry's Artarama, have papers like this.
Is her body collaged also or printed digitally.
I did her body on the computer in Adobe Illustrator and then printed on paper.
You have a lump on her left side just above her bottoms.
The lump you are seeing is the mulberry paper I overlayed on the yellow. You scare me for a minute. Thanks for the warning.
