Illustrator Andrea Wan often looks to her dreams to create her haunting art works. Her second go-to? The botanical garden in the city she's been living in: Berlin. From these two sources, she comes up with the imagery that populates her quizzical paintings and cut-paper works.

In this video, Wan is showing you one of her favourite techniques: creating collages out of her own painted images. First, she draws some shapes. Then, she cuts them out and organizes them into her desired combination for the collage she wants to create.
