Color and shape made of collage

Collaging Colors & Shapes

The painting materials handled by Pigment Tokyo are available in a lot of products that professionals can enjoy in addition to drawing flat works by professionals.


For example, the video of the "seal engraving set" of this lab's handling kit is also a lecture that gains specialized knowledge and skills, while having the aspect of content that you can learn happily through the production.





In addition, Features introduced an article "Play with foil" that even beginners can easily enjoy foil.

For example, if you use the "handicraft" sold by successive shrines, you can easily enjoy the beauty of the Oriental beauty even in an environment where it is difficult to stick or scatter.


(From Pigment Features "Play with Foil")



"Handicraft" is a product that was born with the idea of ​​making use of the cuts of gold and silver paper made by the company, and what kind of pattern is included after reaching.

At the store, you can purchase while choosing the package, so if you are worried, please come to the real space in Tennozu.




And this time I step up a little.

Apply your favorite color to the paper and use it to collage.

First of all, I would like you to prepare this product.




Many transparent watercolor paints are made using artificial moisturizing materials such as glycerin using Arabia rubber and dextrin for exhibition colors, but Zukki's transparent watercolor paints incorporate European classic manufacturing methods into the medium. Masu.

As the product name suggests, the colored tone reminiscent of the Italian climate is combined with a slightly bitter and gentle texture.



Use this paint to first color the paper randomly.

In this production, I used a paper for drawing, but when I applied it on Japanese paper such as mulberry paper and gang -skin paper, the texture changes and the range of expression expands.





After that, cut the shape randomly and make color parts.

I wanted to make use of the watercolor paint bleeding and randomity, so I mainly used a cutter and a ruler for this study. It will be attractive not only to scissors, but also to configure the screen using the elements torn by hand.




Next, put the cut color surface on the screen to create a composition.

This time, I drew a square frame on the mount and made a collage from above, but it is possible to use the supporters spaciously.

I will try to make the screen vertical or horizontal, or look for a composition that seems to be beautiful.




And here is the completion.

We aimed for a configuration that makes use of the edge while making use of random bleeding created by transparent watercolor paint.




In addition, there are color indexes such as paint color samples distributed free of charge at home improvement stores and print samples at print shops, and the width of the collage will be further expanded.




The screen is conscious of the contrast between the painted flat color and the watercolor paint.




In this article, we did not set the motif, but we did non -target collage, but you may want to cut out familiar motifs and favorite shapes.


In addition to the collage, there are many ways to enjoy the art materials in this lab other than drawing.

If you have any techniques you want to do, please feel free to contact us with the art supplies expert.
