Let's talk about the texture today. I have a few ideas. Collage is a huge field for experiments. I wish you enjoy this lesson and create with me!
Texture is a very important element in the art of creating collages. It gives the picture the effect of volume. There are so many ways to achieve texture, and most of them will not cost you anything!
I hope you enjoy these ideas and my final work!
An excellent accuracy of acrylic paint is that it can be accompanied by items to the surface of the surface. Thus, it is possible to create very interesting structures without any structuring agents, such as pasta or gels. In this article, I will introduce you to five simple collage techniques for creating textures and forms.
Create a volume with:
- Corrugated cardboard
- Paper
- Grid
- Poroorone
- Jute thread
Materials and tools:
- Basics for drawing: Skotbuk (notepad for drawing) / canvas on the subframe / cardboard artistic;
- White acrylic paint, or acrylic soil;
- Brushes;
- Paper scissors;
- Materials for collages (corrugated cardboard, paper, newspapers, threads, minor items)
Creating structures from corrugated cardboard
With the help of corrugated cardboard, you can create excellent surface textures for collages. For this, first cut or tear the corrugated cardboard to suitable pieces.
To stick it, first abundantly paint the surface with white acrylic paint. Then also abundantly cover the same paint the opposite direction of the corrugated cardboard.
Now put the corrugated cardboard on the surface of the picture and press it tightly. At the end, the control of the corrugated cardboard on top of white acrylic paint. Before proceeding to further work with the picture, let it dry well.
Create paper structures
Crowned surfaces, folds can be made with paper - newspaper or business. To do this, paint the surface of paper with white acrylic paint and remember a little paper. Then paint the reverse side of the paper is also acrylic paint and press the paper to the surface in the surface. Finally, profuse the front side of the paper acrylic paint.
Before proceeding to further work, give everything well to dry.
Create a texture from a fruit grid
Everywhere you can find materials that can be used for collage. For example, a grid from fruits and vegetables. First, as usual, paint it with white acrylic paint. Then put the grid on the surface in the surface and richly load the grid acrylic paint.
Give everything well to dry, before applying the next layer of paint to the collage.
Create structures from various objects
It is best to stick the items on the painted surface of the acrylic paint. In the example below, I stick acrylic paint small stars from plastic and felt and foam mugs.
Stars from felt
Plastic stars
Mugs from foam rubber
After you started creating various textures for collages, there are always new ideas that can still be glued to acrylic: various threads, cellophane, paper napkins, puffy film, pieces of fabric and much, much more.
When used various items for a collage, it is important that acrylic paint was enough to fix items. Also on consistency paint is better than pasty (thick) than too liquid.
With what else can you create textures?
Maybe various fabrics or dry bulk products? Write me in the comments. Waiting for your ideas.
Here are some of my recent projects. Hope they inspire you!
I wanted to show you that you can use the same materials and achieve a completely different appearance of your products. I wish you to take advantage of this lesson and create with me!
