Stained Paper Collage - Day 4

Today we continued working on collages form our minds or our references. I decided to work from a reference photo of a pond with a waterlily. This is 8 x 10.


We did get to walk on the beach at sunrise. It was drizzling a bit on the way back and there wasn't much color in the sky. I did catch a big wave.

  6. I love what you re doing, Joan. I make such a mess with collage and it ends up looking like something a 10 year did in art at school. The beach looks a gorgeous place to be walking.
