Description

Collage of a mountain moon and tree scene with watercolor on paper and on rice paper, and acrylic on rice paper, by Conni Schaftenaar.

This collage is influenced by work done by Sue Brown Chapin. A sheet of watercolor paper is poured with various colors and stroked vertically on the page The rocks are painted in watercolor on a type of rice paper (mulberry), and the tree is created by pulling pieces off another type of rice paper that has very long fibers embedded in it (Japanese Ogura Lace rice paper) and painted with acrylic paint. The pieces of the tree and the rocks are glued down to the watercolor paper. Background trees are painted in a couple of shades of watercolor after the rocks of the mountain are glued down. The moon area was left dry for the initial pour which allowed the poured background to slightly bleed into the white area, giving the moon a soft edge, rather than the hard edge you get if you use masking fluid or tape as a resist. A little white acrylic was spattered when it was all done to provide the falling snow.
