'Dancing Snowdrops' - mixed media on board (23ins x12ins) |
As snowdrops were on my mind, I decided to do a mixed media artwork using the subject- see above, (close-up details on the top). I used a similar method described in the previous post, but there were more layers of paint and papers collaged on to some flower heads and to form extra leaves. I also splattered gold and white acrylic paint, using an old toothbrush, as a finishing touch.
I tried to give the flowers plenty of movement - so much so, that when I looked at it finished, it looked as though they were dancing! On one of my early morning walks, I have just seen my first snowdrops of the year - a welcome sight as the first sign of Spring...
Sometimes I photocopy my artwork and use it in collages. Today I needed to make a valentine card quickly, so I cut three heart shapes from copies of my snowdrop picture and collaged them onto a painted background, left over from another project. I outlined each heart and the background with a black marker pen. This was signed and then glued to cream card stock - a quick solution!
