I really enjoyed creating collage paper using a stamp I made in a previous workshop. The collage solved the problems I created by putting an opaque acrylic blue on this transparent watercolor. It just deadened the painting. The blue collage brought back life to the opaque passages.

Usually I add some black passages to this type of collage piece. Before making it permanent, I taped on some black pieces of construction paper to help me decide if the black adds anything. What do you think? Black or no black?

Love the black accents! It brightens the entire picture and gives it a "lighter" feel.
Black...YES. The black takes your painting over the line for drama. I like the value contrast and the drama the black adds. Ordinarily I would not care for the blacks all being the same size but in this case the painting is about smaller shapes. Very interesting painting.

Thanks, Linda. This painting is not a crowd pleaser, but I've learned a lot.

I always enjoy your unique approach. Wishing you peace as you go through this time of transition with your mom. Glad you had a great summer with family. Looking forward to seeing you at Sunriver.

My vote is YES for the black. Gives it more 'drama' and depth.
