"Quiet Moment Together" 11" X 11" SOLD
Acrylic and Collage |
Knowing I had to leave my studio in the mid afternoon, I tried to keep
today's painting more simple. Have you ever had tiny pieces of collage
papers that you've thrown away? I use them in a complicated paper
collage.
AnneBagby taught me how to do this on her DVD. Placing the collage papers
randomly over the entire surface, I have my "under painting". I use acrylic matte medium to adhere them to the paper. It
is pictured below. Then I draw my subject on tracing paper, placing the
center of interest wherever I like the collage papers the best. After my
complete drawing is on the tracing paper, I get a print of the drawing that is
only 25% of it's size. I then make a 3 value sketch on the new small copy.
For me, I HAVE to do this on these paintings, because you are actually
painting where the lights are. Below is my value sketch too.
It is fascinating to see how you work, it is very successful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rolina!
DeleteYour mixed media pieces are so interesting....makes me want to hang up the oils for a couple of days and tackle one. Great work!
