FLOWERS & LACE

I used different types of paper doilies as stencils to add the suggestion of lace to this painting and then used some decorative stamps for the hearts and leaves. Such a cheerful, fun painting!

ASPENS & ROCKS
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.

We often want to learn everything that we can about art right away. But we need to understand the basics of value, color, edges, composition first. And you will need a lot of practice for these concepts to become more clear. Don't get discouraged and give up, enjoy the process of learning and perfecting your craft. Have fun!

GATHER - Collage on Canvas
GATHER
Collage - 8x10 canvas
GATHER is a mixed media collage using an eclectic mix of papers, images and stitching mounted on an 8x10x1/2 inch canvas. Images were carefully selected to create a unique piece of art invoking a feeling of the graceful simplicity of nature. Random stitching was added to the collage along with an old button and the final piece was mounted on fabric and a gallery wrapped canvas that was covered in hand painted tissue paper.
The final piece is ready to display by hanging on a wall, propped on a shelf or on placed on a small easel.
