I am taking a free Torn Paper Collage class at our local library. We were to pick an image we wanted to transfer to a canvas. Step A:
Next copy image to tracing paper. StepB:
Next step was to use carbon paper and trace the image on to the canvas. Step C:
Next step was to work with our colors and determine colors mixing our paints. Step D:
Next step was to paint the canvas for a background to our paper. Step E:
Next step was to start collaging using paper. I used old music sheets for the packground. Step F:
Next step was to add torn paper to the main object. Well of course I had to select something that was a very hard color to match. So I selected paper close to the colors I wanted and then I ended up painting the paper to get a close color match. I then added a ribbon to the bottom of the collage. Step G - Finished Torn Paper Collage:
So it is finished. Not sure about the colors and shading as I seem to have lost the shape of the Calla Lillies but I am happy as it is my first attempt at it. I used Mod Podge as it was what I had on hand. This was an almost UIU (use it up) project, I purchased the canvas from the teacher for $1.00.
What a wonderful library you have!! Thanks for taking photos of each of the steps! Putting this in my idea book. tfs
