Part Four: More Collage Papers Added
On a roll now, not sure how much under-painting or pencil sketch I will leave showing through, that is all determined as I go along. I have been experimenting with leaving more an leaving less, it all depends.
The papers I am using in this piece I painted very recently while working on a DVD of my process with my husband, they are rich in color and texture and I am really happy with how they are coming together in this piece, especially the greens.
wonderful! I'm anxiously waiting tosee the completed piece.
ReplyDeleteThis piece is coming along very nicely. I love the detail in the wing of the bird, and I really like seeing the typeface on the building in the background.
ReplyDeleteI am excited that you are making a DVD! I hope it will be for sale, since I have had trouble getting to a workshop. I have a question... where on the east coast of FL are you showing the largest number of pieces right now? I have to go over next Monday and I want to see your pieces live and in person!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you did a complete underpainting before doing your collage pieces on top! This is a wonderfully informational post for this birdie commission. Looking forward to that DVD, too :)
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous! And, I would like to know more about your DVD, that sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteI am from Jacksonville and just wanted to say just how much I LOVE you collages!! They are just yummy and I would love to take a workshop with you. Do you have any upcoming workshops in the area? You also mentioned a DVD--will that be instructional? I love collage and use it myself but yours are just so wonderful. THanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is turning out so wonderful..I do love your work.

The DVD is visually instructional but there is no overview. I am making the DVD for the gallery to play. it will have music and it will show visually, the step by step of making a "Paper Painting" I am sorry that it will not be more comprehensive. It's the first one we are making and it's been TONS of work on my husband! we go from video clips of me painting paper, to video of me making the sketch, to video of under-painting, to stop action photography of a collage from start to finish, and then to a gallery of images of other finished pieces. It looks really GREAT so far, but I'm not sure it would be the instructional that folks would be looking for...
ReplyDeleteOK, so now you all have me thinking that I need to make the DVD something that folks can use for instruction. All the visuals are there, for an instructional DVD, so what I would need to do is take the time to do a step by step voice over explaining the materials and the process as the video progresses along. I am sure I can do this, and add it to the video. When I get that together, I will make it available on the blog for purchase.
