Collage in the "terra" technique uses not a real plot, but our impressions of reality. First of all, these are natural pictures that are colored by mood. A terra collage can reflect the impression of a spring rain or the noise of trees in an autumn garden.

Instructions
Step 1
In order to create a collage using the terra technique, you need to properly prepare the used natural material. Dry the leaves and flowers, peel the roots and soak them in a saline solution. Wash and dry shells, pebbles.
Step 2
The terra collage is created on the basis of a structured putty with fine-grained sand. To do this, we moisten the fiberboard base with a spray bottle. For work, use the side with a rough surface. Then, with light movements, evenly apply a layer of putty with a spatula.
Step 3
We put elements from natural materials on it, as if immersing them in a putty. We are waiting for the putty to dry completely. This may take up to 24 hours. Add paint with a brush, highlighting the elements of the composition. Then, with a dry bristle brush, highlight the necessary areas with white.
Step 4
In the work, you can use not only floristic material, but also fabrics, beads, seashells, pebbles. When creating a collage using the terra technique, one must remember that this is a painstaking and difficult job. Learn how to work on this collage on small planes.
