How I Used Acrylic Skins to Create a Finished Collage

What transforms an acrylic skin collage from a stack of layered experiments into a finished piece?

This week’s Monday Marks Vlog builds on last week’s large acrylic skin pull from the Gelli plate. Now that the skins have been collaged onto the background, we’re moving into the part every artist wants to understand: how to actually finish the piece. Today’s focus is on refining the collage with intentional paint layers, expressive mark-making, and finally leveling and unifying the surface with pouring medium. This is where all those earlier experimental layers come together and become a cohesive, resolved artwork.

If you’re a mixed media artist who wants structured, layered growth in your practice, this is exactly what we explore inside Paste and Paper Playground. Learn more about the membership here
