Collage and Mixed Media

This was the suggestion for the monthly evening workshop of our local art group.

I already had an old figurative collage that needed refreshing, so I picked out a selection of painted papers and a facial sketch to work with.  I left the background as it was and superimposed a new figure.  I like the colour scheme of pinky/orange with the airforce blue, but the butterflies and the figure seem at odds, so further adjustments are likely (or a fresh start).

With time to spare, I tried out a couple of mini collages using predominanly painted address labels.  A quick and easy way to "sketch collage" - simple shapes are the key.

The yacht image was more successful
than my first effort with the flowers
