The final one…
Day 35 - The final piece to finish of artsomofo and a complete set of 7. I ran out of old collage pieces so this is on maybe 80lb watercolour paper with a base of Golden’s Absorbent Ground. I cut out the image as it was quite large for my 4 x 5" paper, leaving the intricate cat’s cradle intact. As a result much of the texture from the ground is visible and I used that to my advantage. I took the colours directly from the photo, Burnt Umber and cream (folk art paint), emphasizing the edges with the darker colour and applying the cream to the center portions. Very simple but a very striking image for Number 35.
Tomorrow I’ll be posting some new assemblage pieces I’ve been working on. Thanks for hanging in for the month of October. It’s been quite a ride!
Wonderful piece. It is very strong and I love the sepia colors!
