February 2026.
The collages on these two pages are techniques I learned in a class, “6 Collages in 60 Minutes.”
This was hectic, but a lot of fun to try something different.
- Cuneiform: (top left) grid of 4 quadrants.
- Landscape: (bottom left) background, middle ground, foreground.
- Color palette: (top right) Use all the same or similar shades of the same color.
- Strata: (middle right) neutral papers. No scissors–tear like layers of the ground.
- Focal point: (bottom right) Choose a focal image and then make triangles pointing to the focal image.
The best part was that I didn’t really have time to think things through. The other images are pieces from a collage that I started a year ago. The background is on what is called “tea bag” paper. It’s thinner than tissue paper. I added paint, which adds texture to the whole collage.
I love learning new techniques. Have you tried anything new recently? Angie
