Studies towards collage..
1. Thumb nail sketches, working out composition
2. More thumb nail sketches
3. Smaller collage studies thinking about colours and the combination of paint with the collage
Looking the above studies I think I go with a three quarter view of the skull that fills most of the paper, less abstracted representation of the skull and quieter background but staying with the blue and the green.
In the final piece, for this exercise, I coloured some cartridge paper with watercolour prior to tearing it into strips, the intention here was to have a more subdued background than I felt could be achieved taking pages/pictures from a magazine.
Wanted to highlight the fact the picture was a collage and allowed a certain amount of space between the pieces of torn paper, also used a dark mount for this reason. Not sure I am entirely happy with this decision.
Happy with the rendering of the skull in the more closely joined/overlaid pieces of paper...
Detail of skull, yes need to consider cropping this work...
