Explore the possibilities of paper and learn to illustrate using collage techniques
The field of illustration covers a huge range of materials and techniques that offer endless creative possibilities. Achieving a specific result depends largely on your chosen medium, which is why experimentation is key. Artist Estrellita Caracol specializes in illustration using collage. Although she studied design, her passion for both collage and paper led her to children’s illustration using collage, an area that was uncharted territory for her at the time. When the chance arose, she picked up her paper and scissors and began to teach herself until it finally became her area of expertise.
