    I just pulled out a bunch of old sketchbooks.... this is so inspiring! Now I am pulling out my boxes of "potential collage" papers that have been collecting "potential" for decades now, lol. But, its just given me a whole new supply of art supplies!

    I should never be ashamed of being a "hoarder" 🙈😅 I still have many things full of "potential". Even though I didn't started to use them yet, I believe they are my potentials.

    How lovely and brilliant to encourage a sense of novelty, ease and playfulness through a medium like this. Play is good for the soul and often the gateway into our more serious efforts while being of equal value. It’s like how tiger cubs play to practice fighting. Play is our model for work. If you’re a sculptor, you can go out and buy some play-dough, that’s okay. If you’re an oil painter you can go get some finger paints or crayons if you’re an illustrator. We do need to remind ourselves of that novelty and not take everything so seriously, sometimes. Another small note for those who want to do this is that you don’t have to create your own textures or papers, just go to any craft store and see what they have that you could use, or maybe bust out some old Christmas wrapping or washi tape or origami paper. Lots of options. If you only have white paper you can color or texture it any way you like and you can incorporate any kind of textures or materials you like. You don’t even need to use paper. Collage is definitely underrated.

    👏 I love how you "recycle" your sketchbook as inspiration and create something completely new that’s also familiar at the same time. And using torn paper seems such a wonderful, playful way to make art and the outcome is beautiful. 🖼️

    That’s stunning ❤️❤️ When I’m gluing a collage I just lift an edge or corner of each piece up, then glue that down. So the pieces are kinda half glued so they won’t fall out of place. Then I’ll lift them up and add more glue starting at the underneath pieces to stick them down properly. It’s hard to describe but saves time lifting them all off and trying to put them back in the right positions x

    I love the drawings used as the base for the artworks. I love collages and I have been making them since I was very little, some times with mixed materials but mainly with paper. Paper is truly a magic material, its weight, its glossiness, its rough edges, its clean cut edges. Each piece creates endless possibilities. And yes I wish I photographed my collages before I glued them down, sometimes you miss out on some details you wanted to add, if you don't have a photo reference. Congratulations for your wonderful artwork! Inspirational and relaxing to watch! 👍😍🥰👌

    Wonderful video. It's been a while since I 'played', and collage (my Sweetie calls the 'collisions', which I love) is my go-to for escaping. One thing I love about tearing paper is that the edge will vary depending on which way you tear. Pulling it toward you creates that exciting white jagged 'border'.

Quite coincidentally, Id' just embarked on a similar tree experiment you describe I your previous videos. I'm from Vermont USA, now living in New Hampshire, also full of trees in different seasonal poses. I came across your tree series and it's given me the courage and permission to continue with trees; putting aside some little voice telling me I should diversify more.
