The annual Collage Makers Summit is open for registration on Monday 3 March and I'm one of fourteen artist/educators that are part of this event, each of us pre-recorded a lesson with collage as main technique. The photos above are a sneak preview from the lesson I’ll be sharing.
To find out more, sign up to my priority list below. I'll let you know all the details on Monday when the summit goes on sale at Early Bird pricing of only $77.
I'll also be sharing how to get another $10 off with everyone who's either on the priority list or a contributing #coloricombo subscriber.
House of Hope
I know it’s not a collage, but I wanted to share this beautiful painting titled House of Hope that Angela Stevens, a #coloricombo subscriber, shared using last week’s colours of Brick Red, Heather, Green Buff & Burnt Umber.
Thank you Angela! I love seeing what you create so if you’re posting on Instagram, please tag #coloricombo and #estemacleod or join us in the private Facebook group Creative Prompts.
Little Houses, Big Ideas
Last weekend I did a live, hour long creative playtime demo, my first on Substack Live. It was titled Little Houses, Big Ideas and it's a demonstration of collage techniques.
The lesson was started with a simple house shape, with painted paper and magazine cutouts as source. A variety of possibilities and options were explored with colour and line work added.
Collaging is an ideal catalyst for creativity and a kickstart for getting out of a creative slump or in need of some motivation.
You can watch a replay now - this project is a perfect warm up exercise for Collage Makers Summit 2025.
