ABSTRACT COLLAGE/Painting
Dimensions: 24'x34' (61X 86.5 cm)
This collage/painting is totally made of (a Dutch) news paper on soft board
Unfortunately on your screen,
you won’t get a sense of the texture
of the paint, (news) paper, the
shimmer of the Rhine stones and the
other material.
I love the darkness of the raw umber and the copper earth tones I used, such as raw sienna, which gives EGGS FOR BREAKFAST the warm color effect.
In the golden paint drops (left) I glued sienna colored Swarovski's Rhine stones. It's giving that extra sparkle which this piece needed.
Framing: I glued the soft board on
triplex, and “framed it” with sheets of music.
Then I
used modeling paste over the music paper,
sanded it, which gives it the marble
like look. I finished the frame with a golden gloss wash, which makes the color soft and warm.
