"Creativity is seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no-one else has thought" - Albert Einstein
Iris Apfel was the featured artist of last Monday’s Coloricombo. The owl was her icon and this led me to create an impromptu painting of an owl, alongside many of you.
I love seeing what you create and post in the Creative Prompts Facebook group and on social media. Since March’s theme is collage I’ve put together another post with collage as technique.
Collaging is a wonderful way to explore creative possibilities, to try something different and also a helpful technique to come unstuck when you’re lacking that creative mojo!
There are two images of owls and another of a cat in PDF format for you to download and print out, then cut up and turn into your own collages.
You’re welcome to use these for personal purposes (please, not for your own workshops or for artworks for resale). These drawings can be used as inspiration to create your own templates of textures and marks for collages.
Collage Makers Summit
The Collage Makers Summit is on from 4-17 March with fourteen collage artists teaching a variety of techniques and processes. You can still register until 17 March and do the projects in your own time as they all have life long access.
Downloads
Have a look at the Pinterest board I’ve created for ideas about owls. The three artworks templates in PDF format can be downloaded here:
There’s two videos on this post. The first video is me making the textures by drawing, painting and printing using Golden High Flow acrylic ink. It’s available for everyone to view.
The second video is a demo of me making black and white collage owls from the three downloadable artworks and is available for paid subscribers.
