Wine and Song IV

When I finish a painting and am happy with it, the latest is always my favourite. This is no exception. It is the fourth in my little Wine and Song Series. It differs from the other three as this is on 300gsm Arches CP paper not a wooden panel so framing under glass is required. I remembered to take a photo very early in the process so you can see how I work to build the finish painting from whatever results from the underpainting. The underlying theme for this work is again linked to my past. Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White was a song I was asked to lay a lot and to include its title with a minor addition the word WINE helped it settle into a wine and song mixed media painting.  The tricky bits came when I hit the collage as watercolour reacts in an unpredictable way depending on what surface it meets. I took my time, stepping back from it often, working out where to go next and I estimate this work took about 12 hours to complete.

Wet into wet background, cling film added.Collage elements added includes: printed tissue paper, highly textured Oguru paper, sheet music, and my first time using Webbing Spray - my work area is now covered in it and not sure whether it is going to come off!

  3. Now this is something I really love.
    You've done a great job, it looks fantastic.
    I only did one piece mixing w/c and collage..I liked it but went back to traditional painting..
    Maybe that's my problem? I'm not a traditional kind of person. LOL
    thanks for the visit and the kind words ... BJ
