These two paintings are from college days in Storm Lake, Iowa! I thought they were gone forever and my hubby found them in a search for something else-in the crawl space. They aren't in top notch shape but they bring me back to the days when it was almost spring, the ice was still on the lake, and I'd go down and sit in the sun and decided to make a sketch for painting class. In the first one, the planks are piled up waiting to be put in soon for the dock. It's my first and favorite. I wasn't as happy with the sky in the second one. They are done in acrylic paints but watered down to get the washy effect I wanted.
These two photos were taken at dif. times so I see the second one isn't in the best of light. I started with tissue papers only because I had not picked out any other papers to go with my color scheme and needed to "just do it" and start. The second one shows the beginnings of other papers I found to go with them. Still have to get to the striped papers we made that I really like.
Our first collage class of the season-we used tissue paper and splashed on acrylic paints after spritzing the papers with water and let them set until dry. I used more colors than I usually do and like the outcome!
