Are you ready for a 5-Day Collage Sketchbook Challenge?

Using the collage papers we created in my Skillshare Print, Stamp and Roll class, we will get started with a very simple grid layout on day one and go on to exploring a different type of layout every day. We will play with positive and negative space, exploring geometric and organic shapes, and working in and outside the box!

The idea behind this challenge is to make it easy to create art everyday using your collage stash and any recycled paper you have laying around.

This is a 5-day challenge but you can keep going and turn this into a 10, 15 or even a 30-day challenge if you want.

As a bonus project, you’ll get to design the cover of your sketchbook with your newly acquired collage skills and fabulous papers.

Going on a trip? No problems, your sketchbook is your traveling studio! Fill a go bag with collage paper scraps before you leave and collect other papers along the way. Turn your sketchbook into a travel journal, it’s always fun to incorporate ticket stubs, brochures, stamps, and maps.

Check out the Collage Sketchbook Challenge pinterest board for more ideas and to follow my current sketchbook adventures.

If you need more collage inspiration, you can refer to my Collage du Jour book where I give step by step instruction on how to create simple collages and ideas to make fun and interesting collage papers.

I hope this class will help you develop a daily art practice because doing something creative every day is really good for you and for the word around you!

Don't forget to share your collages in the project section! And if you share on social media, tag me on instagram at @lucieduclos

Merci et à bientôt!
