Watercolor Collage - 15x22

For this piece I began by painting rice papers different colors for collage. I used watercolor paint for a soft background and glued on paper for the aspen trees. I created texture on the rocks with the collage papers and added shadows for depth. It is always fun to combine soft watercolor with textured collage papers.
