I’m starting my art classes on the journey of collage and mixed media so I thought I’d better do one as an example. I’m also working on a commission and do practice runs like this and sketches before committing to canvas. Cute little doggo!
Here’s my initial sketch:
This time I decided to do the background first. After that some of the shadows...
Time to add in some darks. Rather alarming, isn’t it? :) I tell my students that if they spread the darks around it won’t be alarming. Right now the focal point is on the darkest darks. Need to move them around a bit.
Here we go - adding more textures and shadows into the work.
The following is the finished piece. I like leaving my works on paper loose looking. There were so many warms in the dog that I needed to change the background to cool. Much better.
