Royalty [acrylic collage, 10”x10”]

One of the exercises Sharon suggested in our collage unit was to take one of our successful paintings and attempt a collage based on our own work.  I chose my watercolour painting “Royalty” [see below]. 

I began by painting a variety of solid color collage papers – both opaque and translucent.  I traced my painting onto a mat board and started tearing and gluing.  I also painted directly on to the collage towards the end of this session.  Enjoy your weekend!
