- How I Collage... and Why.
Welcome back to another BobBlast!
I prefer paintings that have a well-traveled storyline. I can feel the artist's involvement and appreciate the time it took to complete the finished painting.
For me, adding bits of collage paper throughout the whole painting process keeps me entertained and creatively involved. Like a kid playing in a sandbox... I glue paper pieces down, add paint, glue more paper pieces, scrape, scrumble and wipe away to reveal the surprises underneath.
After this initial blast of creative energy in the first few minutes, I stop and let the the whole thing dry. While it is drying, I take the time to study the painting so I can make any adjustments with color and paper - until the image conveys a clear message and matches the title... clearly.
By the way, I'm not too fond of collage paintings that have randomly placed "scrapes" and glued papers that have no connection to the overall piece - or to each other. They just look like what the artist did... glued down paper pieces with no solid intention other than hope something "creative" shows up.
And finally - the collage material I prefer is ordinary black ink Xerox copies of patterns and textures. Here is a link for copyright free patterns - www.graphicstock.com/images/p...
This is just one link - there are more!
There are quite a few good books available on collage techniques. I prefer to keep my materials simple, add intricate textured surprises and make a painting I have never seen me make before.
But wait! There's more! No holding back at this point. I like to use soft charcoal vine sticks to draw back into the painting - just because I like to draw. The dirtiest charcoal crumbling into the wet paint is just so wrong, but feels so right.
Keep it gooey!

Gorgeous color. When that orange-rose paint showed up on top I gasped in awe.
I love the surprises!
I swear the happiest people are those who CREATE. Love your energy, Bob!
Totally agree with you!
thanks for reminding us that we shouldn't think too hard about what we're doing.
But be sure to pay attention to the road when you're driving in city traffic.
Wow! Thank you for being completely uncomplicated and sharing techniques with like minded people . Your work is inspirational
I am a messy artist which doesn’t annoy me except when I have to use glue. I found this in a search watched it and two more videos straight through. For the first time in way too long I actually finished a project and these videos were a huge boost. I’m so glad I found this account!!!
I've been stagnant in creating. I came across your videos and it got me out of bed and into my studio. I gathered all my materials and did three collages on small canvases. I'm in love.
You are a breath of fresh air! I'm an abstract painter for many years and ready for a change... so interested in collage and now I have found my inspiration on ...you tube. I love your casual approach and the fact that you don't put yourself on a pedestal, neither do I. Thank you for thiese videos,Robert
I love this video and you just light up when do your work! I love your energy!
Thank you Michelle!
Why am I getting this video in 2022?. This guy is AWESOME! Love it, Mr. Rob!
Hi Alvaro - Sometimes when I am traveling for workshops and out of my studio, we send out a "Best of BobBlast" from the archives. Maybe that is why? Or some odd RUclips algorithm? I am glad you are enjoying. All the BobBlasts are archived on my website - www.RobertBurridge.com.
I LOVE HIM. Such a breath of fresh air after watching hours of the hoity toity 'artists' create art collages. Thank you Bob.
“KEEP IT WET”
🤣classic
I love how you dive into your work and are not concerned about getting your hands dirty.
Your videos are pure fun, liberating and so inspiring. Thank you.
I like the way you collage and paint at the same time. I AM INSPIRED! :)

This is the way I assemble quilt tops. Collect bags of scraps, then sew them together. It's much more fun than cutting patterns.
you are a gem!!! so enjoyed being energized by you!
Thanks Bob , There's no method to madness , love it

I have tried and tried again to get my feelings onto canvas, I now realise that I've been too uptight and aiming for perfection instead of enjoying the process.

I discovered collage in high school... but not in my art classes. Then didn't get back to it until now, at 70! When you scraped the paint off the first time, revealing those b&w lines, I gasped in delight! Thank you so much for a seminal moment in my collage adventure! I love your sense of play and freedom--and love of surprise!
Really enjoyed this!
