FLOWER LOVE
Acrylic Collage - 12x12 Canvas
When working with mixed media the options for collage paper are endless! Use pages from old books, tissue paper, scrapbook paper and hand painted papers. Go the more personal route and use family photos, report cards, old letters and recipes. Invite the viewer to look and linger at the interesting pieces of your life that show through the paint and are incorporated into the artwork. The longer they look, the more fun and magical stuff they may find hidden in the details
Let your collage technique evolve as a result of experimentation by using a wide variety of hand-painted, handmade, textured, and patterned papers. Layering and weaving, pushing and pulling the colors, patterns, and values makes collage akin to music. Go back and forth, alternating and overlapping until the rhythm creates something you love. The magic of mixed media painting!
