How to Make a Soothing Collage Painting
Analogous colors are the trick! This painting derives its soothing characteristic because the colors used are all sequential on the color wheel. Purple➡️Blue➡️Green
The harmony and compatibility of these colors creates no conflict, tension, exciting or stark contrast so that the overall effect is soothing and calm.

Marabeth has me wanting to get into my art room again without dread. Her class is wonderful and exactly what I needed. She is encouraging and has me believing "I can do this!" I was hesitant to sign up for her class because I have been a ceramic artist for many years. I was terrified of the word "paint" but have done many paper collages. I LOVE having this new way of working. It is also wonderful to have Marabeth pop into my inbox and say a few encouraging words to me and all of us. I truly believe she is always thinking about her students and always there to answer any questions. Please think about joining our group of artists and learn all about "Painting with Paper." It is simply wonderful!!!!

Lovely, meaningful share for me to save and watch as much as I want. Thank you so much. MO, USA

Your videos are so informative and charming! You mention that in certain paintings you paint (or position) all your flowers facing forward but you didn’t say what your reason was. I like doing that in certain paintings and even though it’s abstract, I worry that it will come across as simplistic, even though that isn’t my intention. Thanks again.

@marabethquinart 2 ай бұрын

I’m not sure exactly what I was making that comment on, but I’m guessing that I was saying that somewhere along the way, I began to want to paint flowers that looked a bit ‘incomplete’ and less uniform, much like you find flowers in nature. I should watch the video again and see 😆. There’s certainly not a right or wrong way, but I did have a shift in my work in the last couple years

Beautiful result. I always feel identified when you talk about getting attached to something, it happens to me too often and it is true, all of the process is affected when that happens. I have a doubt, how long lasting is the color of the tissue paper? If for example, your painting is next to a window? I´m always wondering about the durability of the supplies I use, (they´re not the most expensive). Thank you so much for your time and valuable experience🙏. Greetings from Mexico.

Yes! So I usually spray quickly with a spray varnish and then use brushable varnish when it’s dry. But if I’m being daring, I will go straight to the brushable kind and make sure I only go over it once, but it is a risk.

So gorgeous!! My question to you is when do you know the piece is finished? When to stop this amazing process

It’s really a subjective thing-I usually say to myself that it isn’t done until I can say “I love it!” I did a video on this: 3 Ways to Know Your Mixed Media Collage Painting is Done kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8iAfbOi2beRp4U.html

I love this but I just can't get my head around why you would paint a lovely background and then completely cover it. I find it so hard to do that.

I know, right? It seems like a waste of time, but with most of my tissues, you can see the base through the tissue to some degree. And then there are those places that pieces of it show through, so really you’re painting the whole thing knowing that some of it will definitely be buried, some will be a support for what’s on top of it, and some will actually peek through. It’s actually all used and useful, but on the surface it doesn’t seem like it. Have you seen my video on doing paint-overs?
