Collage Drawing



“ Collage drawings are a type of collage art that combines multiple media, such as drawing and other materials, onto a canvas or solid support. The word "collage" comes from the French term papier collĂ©, which means "pasted paper" or "paper cut-outs". Artists began using collage as a technique in the early 20th century.”

I created this collage drawing, first by cutting out the shape and pasting it onto a piece of paper. Then by soaking colored pencils using hot water and thus creating the collage drawing.
