    9×12 watercolor collage on Canson 140 lb cold press paper finished today. The idea for this exercise was given to me by another artist who uses it with her classes. I thought it would be really easy. Not! You take an old calendar, find a photo, tear into 5 strips vertically then adhere to watercolor paper using matte medium or ModPodge. Then paint in between the strips with watercolor and try to match colors and values. Very difficult! But I do like the results of these three rescue horses how it turned out.
    C&C welcome ;)

        You achieved your aim, I found it difficult to find the joins.

            Thank you all! Just had a serious inquiry on Daily Paintworks so keeping fingers crossed.

            Didn’t know you were on Daily Paintworks. Carol Marine is great. She lived in Bastrop almost a year before the fire and we never got to meet. Several of friends have been to her workshops and loved them. Anyway, don’t want to take your post off in a different direction. Good luck!

            Kay, how cool is this? I love the concept of the collage – and I agree with Doug; I have to really look to find the painted areas from the photos. Your colors and values are fantastic. Outstanding! I’m so glad you’ve posted this here for us to enjoy. Well done! :clap:
