A Simple Collage Painting

Let’s paint a little COLLAGE PAINTING!
Blessings and Paint On! Joanie
- take a piece of watercolor paper
- glue down some magazine bits, or newspaper or some paper.
- take all your leftover little blobs of paint on your palette
- or pick three colors you love (or don’t!)
- and spread them all around
- use your brushes
- your hands
- a stick!
- draw back into the wet paint
- THEN, let it dry.
- Then SEE what you SEE, let your imagination soar…and start painting!
- Don’t overwork it, keep it fresh.
- Psst – if you get too much opaque paint on it and it covers some cool layers, spray some alcohol on it and wipe back. Magic!
- My piece you see here was totally a whim, but when dry, I looked at it and saw a vase and flowers (imagine me painting flowers! LOL) and just started negative painting out parts that I “saw” and voila…a fun little painting. Look closely and you’ll see a man’s face and a hand! Fun, eh?

| This one was a silly pear example – a la Robert Burridge – that I was showing a private art student, then I changed the shape a bit, and saw a Meditator of some sort. This is definitely a work in progress, but the drawing I did in under layers are fun, eh? And see that text? |
