I am so excited to participate in the artful blogger party put on by artsymama. This is a tutorial on how to create a mixed media collaged artist trading card. There are three parts to the tutorial and when you get to the end if you leave a comment you'll have a chance to win the atc, plus some painted text collage papers to make your own.
To start, you need: some pieces of collage paper. I used a bunch of book pages that I painted with watercolor a few days ago.
Also, you will need some colored pencils, markers, sharpie, glue and stamps
First thing you do is draw an image on one of the papers. I drew a girl starting with her round face, neck, shoulders, hair and features.
Next, color the image with markers and/or colored pencils
See parts 2 and 3 for the rest of this project and don't forget to leave a comment for the drawing.
