Mixed Media Collage

Sunday I finally picked up a brush and have been sort of going nuts! I have only one finished piece to show for it, but lots of experiments in the works. I'm working on the faux encaustic techniques and have some supplies to get that will help, but I've got several little ones going that will be posted soon....if I don't wreck them in the process! Learning tons! More later...

This new one is a mixed media collage done on gessoed watercolor paper. It's 6 1/2 x 14 and is mostly acrylics. I've used several mediums, all by Golden, including a new one to me that's already a favorite, fiber paste. Cool stuff. It's also got garnet gel , coarse and extra coarse, and charcoal. The paints are all fluid acrylics. The photograph is by my sister, Roberta Fair, a fantastic photographer.
