You’ll need:
-A4 size paper
-Pencil
-Eraser
-Scissors
-Glue
-A4 size canvas
-A4 size frame
1. Firstly, take your A4 size paper and pencil and sketch out a portrait of a person you want to paint. Be as realistic as possible.
2. Once you’re happy with your sketch, start cutting out different sections of the portrait with scissors.
3. Once all the pieces are cut out, start glueing them onto the A4 size canvas.
4. Once the glue is dry, start painting over the portrait with acrylic paint.
5. To add a bit of realism, use a technique called ‘sanding’. This is where you take a piece of sandpaper and lightly sand over the top of the portrait.
6. To finish off, add a frame around the portrait. And that’s it! You’ve now made a newspaper collage portrait painting.
