How to Tear Paper for Mixed Media Collage

July 8, 2026 | 0 comments

Hey everyone,

last video sparked SO many questions, so today I’m answering them one by one, and showing you, start to finish, how I turn a piece of canvas (or watercolor paper) into a torn, deckled-edge mixed media piece.

We’re covering: the supplies you actually need, how to tear canvas and watercolor paper for that gorgeous raw edge, what to do when something doesn’t turn out how you planned, and how to seal watercolor so it’s stable enough to live in a mixed media piece for good.

If you missed my last video, it’s linked below, this one picks up right where that left off.
