5x11 inches, paper collage
I finally finished the paper collage I did for the Inspiration All Around Us challenge. As I mentioned in my last post, my idea was to create a paper collage with a watercolor under painting in complimentary colors, and to let those colors show through. In general, I like the results, and will try more collages with this technique. I like my color choices, though the yellow table cloth is close to the peach in value and hue. I also like the bits of background color peeking though, and the textures in the vintage papers and maps I ripped up and cut to create the composition. I tried to have some papers with no printing, so it wasn't too busy, and I think that worked too. The peach on the left is my least favorite, perhaps because I tried to do too much shading. Still, it was a good experience, and I am satisfied with how it turned out.
I love this! Great piece!
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic, Sherry--I especially love the teal line around the cherries and the highlights, but the qwhole thing is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove it! Your cherries are wonderfully rendered.

ReplyDeleteI never thought that collage can be that appealing. I once tried to make collage; I can't understand what I do. I wish I can do what you can do.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic Sherry. I saw it and it stopped me—so creative. Great interpretation and just a wonderful collage.
