I tried following an article from the Artist magazine (Create a collage of costal life, Mike Bernard, Summer 2021issue) to help me understand the process for collage.
I’m not sure that the result was what I intended but I love the use of the word Wellbeing in the clouds and you can see text throughout the image.
Mike Bernard uses acrylic inks and lighter layers of paint in his images and I am going to try some smaller works using this technique.
My application of acrylic paint was heavier than I intended and I had to wash back into the paint to expose the text and collage beneath. Originally I had kept the colours to a minimum but I added a green towards the end as the image felt too cold and grey.
