Aspen Tree Watercolor Collage and Carriage in Breckenridge

ASPEN GREENS

One of the workshops I taught while in Breckenridge, CO was Watercolor Collage where we combined paint and textured tissue and rice papers. I began by masking out the aspen trees and then painting a wet on wet background and rock area. I colored the tissue and rice papers with similar watercolors and then collaged them in the foreground for added texture. I removed the masking and painted details on the trees to finish it all up.
 
I could not resist taking a picture of the beautiful horse drawn carriage surrounded by snow and holiday lights on Main Street Breckenridge.
