September 17

Started work on a new large format water media and collage.
It is again a vegetative motif.

I start with ink them a light color wash in selected areas, then I cover the whole surface with Matte medium by using a 5 inch putty knife. This ensures that everything is uniform.

Then I can start the collage process, this process takes time and consideration as to placement and type of collage elements to be used since it is the basis of the pictorial design.,

typically i use five or six types of paper for collating.
I use colors wrapping paper for an initial base of color and white for a lightened,

I also use fast food wrappers for their muted colors and texture, these can be used face up or down. I will use the more words and logos, face down will give me more muted colors and then the letters will become a textural element rather than a text elements.
