"Imagine Butterflies" $75
Watercolor and Collage 7" x 10" |
I started this painting several days ago, and then didn't quite know what to do with it. Sometimes, paintings need to brew awhile to tell you what they will become. I had tried a new technique when I started, and it really had me scratching my head on where to go. I had collaged 1/2 of a butterfly, and decided to wire draw some more butterflies to accompany the first one. Whenever I teach, I tell the students not to use the whole image that is on napkins. Only use a part of the napkin image and then add your own touch to it. Make it your own. Once I added the red unifying color to weave around the butterflies, it all came together. Just goes to show that if you try new things once in awhile, you might make a breakthrough. Below is my beginning.
