Collage Botanica Diary, 8 / August 19, 2024

Collage Botanica Diary, 8

You want underlayer, Amanda? I’ll show you underlayer!

You say, add collage, I ask, how much?

You say, add more linework, use cool colors, I ask, in how many directions? how cool?

You say, work in some drips, I ask, in all directions? running on top of each other?

You say, time for another go-around with splatter, I ask, how many times shall i rotate the canvas? shall I splatter the sides?

I’m all in.

And I’m telling ya, dear reader, I’d never have built up this much underlayer if working only under my own steam.

I’ve got underlayer going on here. High five!


continuing to build underlayer with more collage, cool colors, more botanical linework,
drips, and splatter; work in progress

      Wowsers indeed! Thanks.

      It’s fun for me to revisit this stage in the process of this painting that, nearly two weeks since I posted this photo, is now only minutes away from completion. Delicious process, gotta say : )
