A wonderful piece of artwork on this bright and cheery Friday morning. The collage has been created by London Art College student Margaret Desouza as one of her assignments for her Illustrating Children’s Books Diploma Course. Students are asked to paint wet in wet washes on stretched or blocks of watercolour paper and then using the shapes and colours, create a collage using them. Margaret has made a lovely scene with hers of flowers and a landscape. The flowers are beautiful with a mix of reds and oranges in her wet in wet painting.
Our students might like to watch this video by watercolourist Steve Mitchell’s video where he shows some fabulous wet in wet techniques. You can find more of his videos on YouTube- his channel is recommended!
