The Wonderful World of Alma Stoller

9 June 2015 by Kortney

In her Winter Wonderland Mixed Media Workshop, Alisha Gratehouse pointed us to an amazing artist.  She linked to a post by Alma Stoller about creating a canvas out of a cereal box.  Well, cereal boxes are something we’ve got around here.  We blow through that stuff.  I was intrigued by the process and started making right after dinner!

And the girl she creates!  So stunning!  I am not generally interested in figure work, but the girls are magnificent.  Then I started poking around Youtube, looking at more of her videos.  She’s created 43 process videos of painted patterned paper made from magazine pages.  

I have been just taken with color!  It is incredibly peaceful for me to paint a magazine page.  I usually have a couple going at once so I can work even when the paint is drying.  I am using craft grade (with a very limited pallette) acrylics, but still making things that I really like.  I draw on top of the painted pages or use them as collage pieces.  Highly recommended.

      Kortney,

      You made me smile. Thank you! I enjoyed reading your posts. I have visited before but this is the first time I’ve stopped to say hello. I ‘m glad I did! I was telling my girls about this video today. We might experiment with cardboard, collage and paint. I bookmarked Alma Stoller’s Youtube channel too. God bless!
