Butterfly and Apple Collage on Canvas
So excited to finish another collage on canvas. Again, it is all about the background...my styrofoam stamps. This time I put the color right on the canvas (not a wash). Then I used some left over corrigated cardboard to scratch into the paint. A white coating which made a bunch of pink...what did I expect? aAdded scribble writing with my permanent marker. I printed cream colored scrapbooking paper and some waxed paper with my stamp. I put the band of paper across the middle, added an orange 4 that I stamped with white paint, the appple image from a magazine, and the butterfly. Then I stamped over the apple and added torn paper pieces to the rest of the collage. Again, its the background that counts. I'm pleased with the results. What do you think?
Very cool. I love complex backgrounds. You continue to do original pieces that really appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leslie. I actually added some to this to bring a little more focus to the middle.
ReplyDeleteI love it!!Your background is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHeh B - hands down the thing I like best are the colours - just stunning - what size is your canvas? Will you put in your show? Off to draw bugs (LOL). J
