Two New Collages Using the Same Papers
June 22, 2011
Untitled 1 and 2 (because they don’t have titles yet)
Collage with hand painted papers, each 5 x 5″
These two collages were made using one small selection of papers. I chose them from my pile that I showed in my blog post last Thursday. This is another way to keep a cohesive series together.
Still learning Corel Painter this week. I really love it, but it’s slow going. But not really, when you think about it. My usual way to learn a software program is by trial and error and discovery over a period of months or maybe even years. This time I’m forcing myself to go through the tutorials, step by step, and take notes. The next phase will be practice.

I am anxious to see how you like the corel painter tutorial. I will be watching closely to see how you continue to develop your unique style. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
Mary Helen, I love the tutorial. I hope to show off some of the things I’m learning in the not to distant future.
Great creativity Martha, as always. I’d never managed series work but suddenly have ideas for a couple. One I am working on is “floating free”, in nice bright colours, inspired no doubt by my upcoming retirement – only one week to go!! Am so happy.
Sandra, I’m so excited for you! I know you’re going to get that free-floating feeling pretty soon!
Being a wimp, I gave up on Corel draw! Yes, I know I should give it another go – but I don’t feel strong enough yet :o)
Love the mini series!
Sassa, I used to use CorelDraw and Corel PhotoPaint exclusively. More PhotoPaint than the Draw program. It’s been a very long time — years, to be exact — but my memory tells me CorelDraw is a vector program. Now I have Illustrator for that purpose, but I’m not very good at it!
Before I retired I taught various computer programs to adults and high school students. I often had to learn a program days before I had to teach it. I found that I learned by doing, rather than reading; Or just skimming the instructions. You can do it!
Yes, Caroline – I’ve learned many programs the old fashioned way. However, I have to say I’m enjoying the DVD tutorials. They just put me to sleep after about an hour, so I have to move around a bit and come back.
