Creating Abstract Collages / Art with Adele

- CREATING ABSTRACT COLLAGES / The artist Henri Matisse has always been one of my favorites and his cut papers -- in which he “painted with scissors” -- has always inspired me. In this abstract art tutorial I 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 30x48” 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.

I'd never considered using such large collage pcs 🤯. I'd love to see how you manage to glue them on and what the final pc will look like 🤔👀. Incredible to me that such random and simple collage doodling can work together to make such compelling overall pieces 👍😊
I stumbled over your website while I was surfing Pinterest for paintings I like and I am so glad I did. I’ve been stuck for a while in a rut and you inspired me to get going again! Thanks so much for your generous sharing of information and videos. You are reminding me of a lot of things that I had heard before or done in the past and forgotten. I love your work!
Omgosh me too! Verbatim!
My only question is: where do we buy the deli paper!!!?
I love this!! Thank you Adele for sharing so much of your process with us. I got an art degree years ago then had to go into the work force after a divorce. I forgot how much fun making art is! I am now retired and doing art again and found your videos remind me of how fun and satisfying the creative process can be . Your experiments open up so many possibilities.
I’m obsessed w your videos. I have had the worst cold and have been in bed feeling so yucky and I took one of your classes and binge watched a ton of your videos and i’m feeling a lot better...thanks xo
I, too, enjoy seeing and hearing you process. You’ve inspired me to paint small papers and combine them to create 9x12 or 12x12 pieces. I consider them studies and am working up to doubling them in size, maybe larger. Now, of course I want to paint and try larger collages, so, I’m looking forward to seeing you work the large collage into a finished piece.
It is great to have a collection of studies because you have something to draw from when you want to start a new painting. You will see me finish a large collage, it is on my list of videos. 🌸
Love this! Started painting several collage papers last night and ordered some deli paper. Adele, I’d also love to see how you complete this. I have the perfect space for a giant canvas but how to finish/adhere/frame everything is what is most daunting to me. Thank you for the great videos!! Love them.
I just discovered your channel this morning. It is six PM now and I keep hitting next,next, next. I can’t wait to see what is next.
Thank you Adele for those beautiful inspirations.I would like so much to see the next prozess, when you start to paint on these collages.
Would be very very interesting for me. Thank yo for yor great work!
Will do just that in a future video Isabel. I do work on them once I have them glued down. 🌸
Yes, I want to see the next step of gluing down, too.🤩💕🤩
Perfect, thank you so much❤️.
Thanks for a great and inspiring video. Since I’ve started watching you I have been adding little bits of collage to my paintings for texture. But after this inspiring video I want to try going bigger with the collages.
Yay. Go bigger and let me know what you do. 🌸
Great video Adele! Would you consider doing a video where you are actually gluing all these papers down? I love to do collage but always have a problem with my papers wrinkling , especially newsprint, the thinner magazine pages and parchment. Thanks.
Great, I love the those final colours. I would like to see how you glue them on.
Dear ADELE, I am in love about you and your lessons! Great!!! Thank you and my Best wishes from the south of France 💖💖💖
Good morning. I just loved this video! You are my treat every Sat. Morning.
Oh how sweet you are. Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it. 🌸
Thank you so so much, dear Adele, for teaching us!!!🌹♥️
Thanks so much for watching. 🌸
Wow, endless row of great ideas
It is, isn’t it! Fun to see so many different options. 🌸
Liebe Adele! Danke für die tollen Inspirationen. Ich würde gerne sehen, wie daraus das fertige Bild entsteht! Bis nächsten Samstag! Ich freue mich schon sehr auf das Video!
Adele, Thank you so much for the gift of your beautiful art and wisdom about all the great techniques and your process. I cannot tell you how much joy it has brought me to be able to watch amd learn from you. I look forward to signing up to get more lessons from you.
I have a question about collage pieces:
What type of adhesive do you use? I used a clear one on magazine clippings and it sort of rippled the pieces. Maybe magazine isn’t good for collage... not sure.
Please follow these up to completion and show the applying of adhesive process as well as the completed collages. We need to see completions - ideas are only the beginning and although they are inspirational they don't help people with how to carry on and apply these ideas and inspirations.
Jordan Newport I’d also like to see this
Adele you are such an awesome person. I just love your videos. You are so generous to share all your techniques and ideas. Your enthusiasm for art is so full of joy! Thank you!
Thanks Adele for sharing this awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it! 🌸
Thank you Adele. 💕😘
Wonderfull inspirations, Adele !
Each one of them is looking great !
Thank you so much and have a nice weekend - Ursula 🌲
Thank you Ursula, you have a great weekend too. 🌸
Liked this a lot. You say they are a place to start - would enjoy seeing you take a few to completion. Would you add paint and more marks?
Good to hear you would like to see one finished. I will definitely choose one of the possibilities and show how I glue it down and finish it off in a future video. 🌸
A wonderful video!
Thanks Deborah. 🌸
@adelesypesteyn What is the next step once we found the final most pleasing composition?
Do we lay matte medium on the canvas and
then place the piece on top and
smooth it out and then again on top of the piece and smooth it out with a scraper to make it lay flat,allow it to dry and varnish?
Or do we place matte medium on a brush and individually adhere the pieces in place then place medium on top,dry and varnish?
You can really do it either way. I start from the back forward. So whatever is on the bottom I adhere with acrylic medium or gel. Then I work my way toward the top piece of paper collage and put a coat of the medium on top of everything. 🌸
Interesting video! Like other people, I am waiting to see the final canvas when everything is glued down and paint.... How could it be when it's on your wall?Do you varnish it? (sorry if my english is not perfect...)
Loved it!! Giving me inspiration!!
I love your courses. What kind of paint did you use for creating these papers ? Tks
Wonderful video. You inspire me to try new ways to do my artwork.
That is so great to hear. Keep experimenting and playing with things, that’s how I like to do it. 🌸
Magnificent! Inspires me to start doing pieces to have collage paper ready! I would be interested in seeing the glueing part which intimidates me a bit. Do you brush the glue on the paper or the canvas or on both! Thanks for the video! I could have kept on watching for another hour😊
Yes, having collage paper ready makes things simple and quick. I brush the glue on both the paper and the canvas.
Love doing collage but have difficulty with the glueing. Bubbles happen and can ruin the piece. Do you have a preferred method? I use mod podge or watered down white glue. Any suggestions?
Marlaina Blanche I’m looking for suggestions in this area too. I use gel medium or the thinner matte medium. Can never remember which for what purpose - I think the thinner matte for thicker paper/card stock and the heavier gel medium for thinner paper. I think, lol.
Mariana Blanche try golden matte gel or matte medium for glueing (it comes in gloss but for glueing i prefer matte. I also use a scraper to smooth bubbles.
@@deeh9563 anything w the word gel tends to be for heavier pieces and matte medium is more fluid so you would think of that for thinner pieces of collage i use matte medium and gel medium matte for everything. In my opinion it’s very superior. I also use liquitex matte medium and liquitex matte gel.
Really love this!! Do you use the special papers on your paintings or do you use it as exempel?
First, many thanks for sharing so much of your process. Really enjoying observing how you work. One question: You say at the start that you are going to work horizontally with a landscape orientation, but after that you refer several times to the short side as the top. Could you please clarify.
Thank you!
I decided to create these from a vertical placement. 🌸
How would you cut out in glue down. Show us a final piece please. Thanks
Do u mount the collage pages onto a canvas?
exuse me mam just letting you know its the bell button not the like button love the art !
I literally don’t know how to use muted colors but I want to 😢
The best advice I can give is just start doing things! Just do it, and figure it out as you go. You can do it!
Oh you don't have to clean up the wall on our behalf! I like messy.
