I am continuing to have fun with digital collage. I find that what I enjoy layering are my own paintings and sketches along with a photo image. Its the mystery that keeps me going with these pieces. Its the element of surprise that gets me excited as I work. Seeing something cool pop through from underneath is one of the things I love about this medium.
For this piece I used a photo I shot in NYC of a lamp post with "love me" written on it in graffiti, along with a sketch and the mixed media painting below. I had alot of fun creating this painting using layers of collage, stamping, and two of my fav colors. . . payne's gray and raw umber mixing each with varying amounts of titanium white for lights and darks.

I am sharing this over at Paint Party Friday today.
We are expecting unseasonably warm temps for winter in NY so I am planning on some long walks at the trail! Wishing you a lovely weekend!

you are finding your voice...and you are finding your signature colours I would say...beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend!!
This is gorgeous - I've not tried digital - just learning the "reality" stuff : ) But I love what you did here. Your color combination is phenomenal!

How fabulous! I love all the depth to the art- using the digital and traditional together and the story behind it!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDigital - does that mean you did them on the computer or that you used digital images (printed out)?
If on the computer - what program or app did you use?
This is so clever Cathy. I always think it's great to play with your own work digitally - gives it a whole new lease of life.
ReplyDeleteVery good collage, the shades of grey n I like. Saludos
