Magazine Collage Grid with Kelly Wynne

Thanks to Kellee Wynne Conrad of “Color Crush Creative” for the free YouTube video on creating magazine collages. According to Kellee, these collages are meant to be fun and imperfect, serving as a creative exercise to free you mind. Start by drawing squares on your paper, they engage in automatic drawing using a water-soluble crayon. Brush over the crayon marks with water to eliminate the intimidation of a blank page. For more detailed instructions, check out Kellee’s video on YouTube video .
