#3 Mixed Media Collage Painting- A Good Combo

After a lot of thought and contemplation I decided a happy medium for my Harbor piece would be a collage painting. It would possess the versatility of acrylic paint, layering from thin to thick as well as the tactile quality of paper collage that builds the surface. In my collage series Collage 02740 the work consisted of pure paper collage works however there were a few pieces that had a combination of painting and collage techniques.

When making paper collages I paint with paper using the paper as if it was paint - separating tones and values in separate containers similar to arranging hues of paint on a  palette when painting. I particularly enjoy doing mixed media collage paintings as they possess the best of both worlds. In a historical piece or a piece with social or political commentary I use collage elements not for color but for the powerful use of  text inserts and photo imagery as in the above piece entitled " New Bedford Grit " from my collage show last year.



With that said I finally came to the conclusion that a mixed media collage painting was the way to go with this piece for "New Bedford Harbor in a New Light"
