Bugs, beetles and butterflies are a few of nature’s most colourful creatures. As such, they make great topics for material collage. I made dozens of them in my earlier collage years, getting all kinds of collage observe alongside the best way.
As a result of I used to be framing most of those “specimens,” they have been on the smaller aspect—let’s say placemat-ish type of dimension. Now I understand how enjoyable it’s to “go massive” and draw bigger scale topics to be able to have extra room to play with coloration and visible texture. I encourage my college students to go massive as effectively, and provides them the permission to “coloration exterior the traces” in the case of topics akin to bugs (or fish). Is it extra vital to recreate a specific species, or quite use your creativeness to create your personal distinctive crawly? The reply lies in your material—how does it encourage you with colours and patterns?
In at the moment’s Throwback Thursday, you’ll discover a gallery of examples of various bugs and butterflies I’ve created—a lot of which you could find patterns for HERE—akin to “Highlight Beetle,” above.
