Building a paper color palette for my new collage
In this video, I’m creating gel printed papers for my next collage painting titled “Prosper.” The goal is to make a cohesive color palette—papers that harmonize beautifully when combined in the final artwork. You’ll see me experiment with tone-on-tone prints, layered textures, and subtle patterns that will later become part of the collage. I share my thought process for building a unified collection of papers—from choosing colors that convey a sense of abundance and calm to layering techniques that add depth without chaos. These papers will form the foundation for “Prosper,” a piece that celebrates growth, creativity, and flow. If you love gel printing, color harmony, or the behind-the-scenes process of mixed media art, you’ll enjoy this relaxing yet inspiring session. ✨ What you’ll see: Building a cohesive palette for a specific artwork Creating tone-on-tone gel prints Balancing texture and simplicity Tips for making your prints work together in a collage 👉 Watch until the end to see the final paper collection ready for collage & the artwork I created with them! 🔔 Subscribe for more videos on gel printing, collage techniques, and my creative process. 🎨 JOIN THE STENCIL MAKERS STUDIO: https://mixedmediamastery.com/courses... 📩 JOIN MY PAID MEMBERSHIP FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT: / susancliftonartist 🖌 SHOP MY STENCILS & MASKS: https://susanclifton.com/stencils-mas... 💬 Comment below and let me know which print was your favorite—and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more mixed media goodness!
