Week 4 - Use Techique by Kelly Rae Roberts

These paintings are based on a techique by Kelly Rae Roberts which incorporates paper collage, gel medium and acrylic paint. I decided to create two pieces - one with a house using paper torn from a magazine. I added some stamping and extra collage bits. I got carried away and painted some flowers which I don't like - think it would have looked better without.

The second one I cut out scraps of paper from my scrapbooking stash and added some torn music sheets. I wanted to add a figure with wings. Again I added extra collage bits and some stamping. Both pieces I wanted to add some positive affirmations. I struggle a bit to be more "loose" and create my own style. I think too much about where I am placing my paper collage instead of being more free and flowing. I would like to play around more with collage pieces to try and find my own style.
