Collage



This is a mixed media piece painted on a piece of Crescent board.  First step was to gesso the board, and then paint a loose wash of fluid acrylic paint covering the entire board.  Next, I collaged over the painted surface using a variety of tissue paper and other heavier types of paper.  Once that dried I covered the entire surface using Glossy Collage Pauge.  After the surface was dry I used a gold gel pen to add loose lines in areas that needed a little more punch.

Summer Painting


I have been drawing more and painting less lately.  Sometimes it is good to get back to basics.  Sitting in one spot and immersing yourself in the mood of the day will be reflected in your finished painting.
