Collage

Although this latest piece of art has many areas that I would consider completing in a different way if I attempted it again it does excite me because I've moved away from flowers and it is also my first collage. I've also used some different techniques again, which is always fascinating.

The seaweed is made from strips of watercolour paper that I painted randomly with seaweed coloured paints then cut to shape and stuck on. I also used indian inks within the sea and painted on a gold net with an oiled based paint. I had tried to stick on a gold metal weave that I had kept from a bottle of wine but this didn't work. The lighter, turquoise sea at the top of the painting was a mixture of watercolur and fairy liquid, swished up until it was very bubbly and foamy and then painted on and the bubbles were left to 'pop' and dry onto the paint. The seahorse himself was painted with a random pattern that was masked out with masking fluid at the begining of the painting, then the last thing I did to the painting was to remove the masking fluid and paint over the white pattern with a dilute pale yellowy wash to tone it down a bit. So all in all, although the painting is not one of my best, or favourite, the techniques I used were fun - a really enjoyable project!
