I'm continuing with lesson 2 of Jane's Dynamic Composition class - this week we're working on abstract landscapes - a combo of collage and paint.
#94 - 97 - I'm sharing my starting point & my finished pieces. If you'd like some guidance and tips on creating a variety of compositional styles, I'd definitely recommend taking Jane's class - she offers such great feedback.
#1 - start
#1 finished
#2 start: collage on 9x9 white square
#2 finished: All that random collage made for some great texture in the lower half of the piece - tried to create more contrast with the addition of the black handmade papers but think it's too harsh.
#3 start: created my horizon just on a 9x9 white background.
#3 finished: Added some text collage on top of the original collage to beef up the contrast and created texture by scraping stripes through the wet paint.
#4 start: A 9x12 collage over painted background.
#4 finished: Though I like this one and think I've created some interesting textures top and bottom, I'm not sure I created enough drama in the horizon line - this one might need a bit more work.
Thanks for browsing my site - hopefully you're inspired to try your own mixed media abstract landscape! Have a creative week!
