These landscape collages are a continuation from last week's post where I randomly picked the words 'landscape' and 'brown' from my prompt jar as a starting point for a series of collages. I decided to carry on with the theme and use up some of the papers I had made, this time working a little bigger and marking out 6 squares in my sketchbook instead of 9. I think I might work into these a little more but will wait a while and think about it!
I worked these directly into my sketchbook and at some point during the process I decided to work both vertically and horizontally - I wanted to move away from the horizontal horizon line in each one. However I think individually or paired up some look better rotated. Below are the collages as made in the sketchbook and above are the pairings which include the 4 rotated ones.
They are fantastic Diana - isn’t it interesting how rotating them changed their appearance? You made me think, everything I do is pretty much horizontal (craft wise!), knitting, crochet, I rarely do any painting stressing the vertical. There’s a challenge eh? Be more vertical!!

I love these Diana - lovely Autumnal colour way and a Japanese feel to them, I think. x x Jo 🌈
ReplyDeleteI love autumn for its colours, nothing nicer than turning a corner and seeing a tree in all its reds, oranges and golden colours. (Not so much the picking up of leaves in our vast garden that seems to attract leaves from everywhere). You have captured the colours in your small collages perfectly and with the addition of black these are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jo (above) that these have a Japanese feel about them.

ReplyDeleteHi there, making a concerted effort to get round EVERYONE today after my busy conference week last week. Gorgeous collages, love the script writing and the circles.

I'm with Twiglet - definitely a Japanese vibe going on there, but also an African one. they're fab and would look good blown up onto big canvases.

I love them; I thought a Japanese vibe too. Love how they look so different rotated. I’m catching up, have a good week
