How to get started with collage art? - Collage Basics For Beginners

I am sorry but I don't understand -this is supposed to be for beginners but when you take about glues, (ZMZ?? what is that?) you use technical terms I don't understand, I think there is an assumption of knowledge I don't know. I need to find a place to learn about collages from the kindergarden basics and beyond. This is already beyond ;-). I don't know what you mean by cards or mixed media paper, etc. I'm so frustrated.

Lovely work! Thanks for the tips! I've started exploring the art of collage and am still learning. I still struggle with composition and finding pleasing arrangements of the elements and colors.

Very useful thanks a lot

I’m very curious about those cards you refer to. I’m not clear about the substrate. Were the cards ready-made or did you cut them to 4” square? Thank you.

It's more like you're advertising glues than explaining collage

Very inspirational ! I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to start. Thank you so much :)))

Thank you for explaining the glues and basics about collage. Very informative.

Thank you for explanation about glue and I thought about Piñatas 🪅 and then I thought about Engrudo it's made with flour and water, some people use white glue in the mix, I was about making it a using it to finish making my Prompt Cards, I'll let you know how it goes 🙂

Thank you so much 💗

Thank you for sharing 😁😁😁

Love your info on adhesives! I have yet to experiment with a glue stick but I'm excited to try it out.

Thank you! :)

This helped so much bc I need to do it for homework

This was so helpful

Very good explanation. Also inspiring to start this hobby. Thank you very much.

Your collage art tips are enjoyed and much appreciated. When using CMC or wallpaper paste for collage glue, what ratio of water-to-powder do you use? Thanks!

Amazing

Thank you! This is so helpful and inspiring!

i like collaging and scrapbooking i also like using journals to do it i like bible coloring journal bible and i like adult coloring

Very, very helpful video! I was wondering if you worry about the acid content in vintage papers? Not many people talk about that. Thank you.

Thank you for comments about mediums and their properties :)

Thanks for explaining the different glues / adhesives.
Love the 2 collaged books✂️❤️

Danke, jetzt habe ich endlich den Durchblick. Auf Tapetenkleister wäre ich nie gekommen 👍🏻

I really love your approach to collage and breaking it down to show how accessible it is for all creatives :) Thanks!

Beautiful Lydia! I love your channel. Greetings from Argentina 🙂

Thank you. Lots of good ideas!

Pleased u r doing this. I looked at your work a long while ago and was impressed and especially with how you lay out your design and link together your papers. I have painted for a while and have lately embarked on collage. I decided to do 365 collages this year! So your idea of small is perfect! I am ahead of the game with 15 at the moment. I am experiencing a lot of problems with wrinkles so please could you deal with this in your vids? I use a credit card matte medium liquitex. My materials range from lens tissue through to heavyish paper. Since i have painted on some of the finer stuff some of it is wrinkled even before i start. Is life too short to worry over much about wrinkles or does a true collager never have them!? Best R

Great video with lots of good advice. I live in Australia where weather can be very humid and silverfish are a huge problem. Silverfish LOVE cellulose, so I tend not use wallpaper paste in the making of my books.
You will know if your home harbours them if you find spines of books have mysteriously come adrift, or dust covers and pages appear to be torn - all have been victim to those tiny creatures nibbling away in darkened areas.

Very Nice sharing ....😊😇🤗🙂☺😉😍😇🤗

Love these books and I have finished a few of my own. I love your compostitions, what's the trick there?

Thank you for this video! A lot of good information. I really want to try collage now. So good idea to start very small. Love to see your upcoming videos.🙏🙂
