after adhering tissue bits to deli paper. you can see that it
has a bit of texture. i am not good at keeping my collage
pieces flat.
i decided to paint something after one of my
favorite artists, marc chagall. i am drawn to
his whimsical creatures and the scenes from his beloved
home town village in Russia.
i wanted to take more process photos but got
so involved with painting that i only took this one.
i used gloss medium under and on the top as an adhesive to glue the
tissue down so the paper was glossy . i tried to sketch with
pencil and charcoal but the gloss made it difficult so i
just started painting.
i rarely use blue but it seemed to be a chagall favorite. i like
the color actually and wonder if it will pop up more in
my work.
Marc would be very pleased with your creation from his inspiration.
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you Anne.
DeleteI also love Chagall's work, and spent three days last year visiting a wonderful Chagall exhibition at the Tate Gallery in Liverpool.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a feeling of his work in your painting, that dreamy, nostalgic and romantic vision. I love this painting, and the blue seems to glow.
How lucky to have visited the Chagall exhibit. I saw an exhibit years ago and still remember it. Thanks so much for your comments. I rarely use so much of this shade of blue but had fun here
DeleteYour piece has a Chagall feel to it. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, John. I think it helps to use similar colors.
