STILL LIFE COLLAGE
In this series I use a still life of recognizable objects to determine the composition. I like to
zoom in on the objects to divide the picture plane into intriguing shapes. I then use
charcoal, watercolor, acrylics and/or pastels to add a base or background color. Then the
fun begins—I search among my collection of art fodder to find items that I can layer over
areas to add texture, interest, or color. Some areas become flattened shapes others become
texturally dimensional. It is amazing the variety of materials that can be collaged in this way
.
