"Sweet Nature" by Martha Kisling

SWEET NATURE

Original Watercolor Collage - 11x15

 Purchse Info

Soft, white blossoms floating in a sea of leaves. I collaged on thin pieces of rice paper around the flowers to add interest and texture to the background. When I came back in to reinforce the darks, the paint reacted in unpredictable ways on and around the areas with rice paper. Combining collage with watercolor provides endless possibilities for creativity.

DAY LILY COLLAGE

Original Watercolor Collage - 15x22

Purchse Info

This painting is a combination of watercolor and collage. I painted wet on wet and then added definition to the flowers when everything was dry. Small print was stamped on thin rice paper before gluing it to the paper for added interest and texture.

"Music of Love" - Watercolor Collage by Martha Kisling

MUSIC OF LOVE

Original Watercolor & Collage - 11x15

Purchase Info

This painting began as a class demo for painting roses. I later came back to it and decided to experiment and used bubble wrap to stamp some texture in the background with green watercolor and randomly collaged on some very thin pieces of rice paper. I then used white gesso on a stamp with musical notes and one with the word 'love' to add some fun to the composition.
