Building Pictures without Lines | Beginner’s Guide to Collage Sketching!

Welcome to day 25 of the 64 Million Artists January Challenge – Bring it to Life!

Todays challenge is about finding an object and bringing it to live in some way. I’m thinking back to day 18 when the challenge was to design a space. In this video I’m going to add more details to my plans.

I’m going to concentrate on my favourite art items and build out the shelf that they sit on. My special items are my Mod Podge Glue for sticking down collage papers, My Indian ink which I use with my inky stick to draw on my collage work. A tube of glue and my pen pot which holds all my old pens and pencils used in my creative processes.

If you like collage art then this video will give you a beginners guide to creating images from scratch, using torn paper to create your shapes.

You will then learn to build on these shapes with an ink and develop your drawing to a finished piece. Creating art in this manner helps to build confidence and take stops you worrying about line work which beginners can find daunting.
