WOODLAND FALLS - Watercolor Collage

WOODLAND FALLS
Watercolor Collage - 13x18

I began this watercolor as a traditional landscape painting - trees, rocks, water - but was not very happy with it, so I put it aside for a while. I have found that if I am feel stuck creatively it often helps to let things percolate in my 'right brain'. Take a break from working on a piece. Get a fresh perspective and hopefully the creative juices will start flowing again.

When I came back to it, I decided to add some collage - hand painted tissue and rice papers - for some added texture and design interest. Just what it needed!
