•Eric Carle prepares his own colored tissue
papers to use for his illustrations.
•He is able to produce different textures by
using various brushes to splash, spatter and fingerpaint acrylic paints onto thin tissue
papers.
•He cuts or tears the colored tissue paper
into shapes as needed and they are glued onto white illustration board. Some areas of his
designs, however, are painted directly on the board before the bits of tissue paper are
applied to make the collage illustrations.
