Landscape Collage Techniques

This 96-page guide walks readers through making landscape collages, both out in the open air and back in the studio. It covers the outdoor tradition of plein air collage alongside studio work.

The techniques include painting your own collage paper, sketching the scene before you begin, building an under-painted base, reducing a view to its simplest shapes, and tearing paper with or without the white border. It also shows how to glue papers down flat so they stay free of wrinkles, along with other methods for building mixed media landscape scenes.

Elizabeth St. Hilaire, an award-winning artist, wrote, photographed and designed the book herself.
