I've been playing around with creating impressions from a site I'm referencing for my current project using collagraphs and I found way to incorporate them into a new abstract painting.
| Using leftover Collagraph Prints
The collagraph printmaking process can be a little unpredictable and whilst some prints turned out great, others were less successful.
But I wanted to preserve some of the texture treasures that happened and incorporate them into a new piece. I usually do these paintings in my sketchbook, but thought I'd try working on a piece of mixed media paper instead for this one.
I think I prefer the smooth surface of my sketchbook pages and wondered about gessoing and sanding these sheets of paper first for a similar surface....anyway that's something to try for next time!
Enjoy this one - it's a hot summer here in Australia at the time of posting this and the beach vibe is all around at the moment!
