The Same Thing, Only Different


This is the same hibiscus I sketched and painted earlier here in a more realistic style. It's fun to do the same subject in a completely different style and see what happens. For this one, I traced the flower and then collaged it over a background I'd painted while practicing some paint effects. After that, I went back in and did some more line and shading work, along with some color washes and here is that same hibiscus, only very different.

    1. Thank you so much, Angele. There are some very good books on collage. That's how I have been learning - Collage Lab by Bee Shay is good, and so is Jane Davie's book, Collage Journeys. It's so much fun!
