Acrylics, Collage and Spring Flowers

TEXTURES OF SPRING
Acrylic collage on canvas - 16x20x1/2

For Textures of Spring I decided to do something a little different and combined acrylics with painted tissue and rice paper for a mixed media collage painting. Because i used a gallery wrapped canvas it is ready to hang as is or can be placed in a standard size frame.
You can see in this detail photo that the collaged papers really add a lot of texture and interest to the flowers and leaves. The beauty of this technique is that you can paint, collage, paint and collage some more until you are staisfied with the final piece!
