Grungy Small Abstract Collage Art | How To Use Scraps, Acrylics & Tape

Hi All!

I love creating abstract on small canvases. They are easy, dry quickly, and can be displayed in so many ways -- from framing to journaling and any other creative way you can think of (mobiles, greeting cards, etc.). I also love grunge, neutrals, and collage. So this piece blends all of the elements I enjoy using to create "Grungy Small Abstract Collage Art" with lots of rich neutrals, texture, contrast, and movement.

MATERIALS:
CANVAS: 6" x 6" paper canvas (cut from a 9" x 6" sheet of Artist's Loft 140lb watercolor paper)
ACRYLICS: , Anita's White, Liquitex BASICS Deep Hue Red
INK: DIY dark brown alcohol ink (2 parts alcohol, 1 part burnt umber brown acrylic (touch of black acrylic) 1 part glycerin.
COLLAGE: bits and pieces of old project scraps on watercolor paper, copy paper and an index card, old book paper, "concrete paper" made with a coat of joint compound on copy paper
TAPE: masking tape and dry wall tape for texture
STENCILS: circles
MARKER: Jumbo black Sharpie marker and Arteza black Real Brush pen
PEN: Black gel pen
GLUE: Hot glue for adhering collage and for mark making

FORMER CHANNEL: You might been familiar with my old channel, Junk Draw Journals, that I retired after 10 months (with 1270 subscribers) because I want to do just abstract vs journaling. I did both there, but I want to fully focus on abstracts. I hope you found me again!!!
