Скачать или смотреть Making Collage Fodder Teaches Composition , Colour Theory & More with Wendy Mould

Mixed Media Artists shouldn’t have all the fun. Realistic painters need to peek over their shoulder and see what they are about. This sketchbook activity using fall leaves is one example. Working through this activity requires creating an interesting composition without the use of a strong subject. It also allows for testing colour schemes, glazing with watercolour, mixing colour on paper and testing paper to understand how it reacts to watercolour. In the end you will have great collage fodder or a great spread in your sketchbook. Either way, a great activity.

To add to the discussion on Composition, see Wendy’s November 2025, blog post, Creating Tension in Your Painting.

Wildlife, Nature Artist Wendy Mould loves to work in pencil, pen, and watercolour. Her favourite subjects are birds and animals resting on a log, fishing in the tidal pools, or prowling in the forest – Life on the West Coast.
