Work in progress.I seem to need to have alot of pieces of work on the go... I just keep moving from one to the next... I never know if I will finish anything in a day or if suddenly 2 or 3 pieces will come together and feel complete. I also need alot of variety in my processes... so in between painting, I will be collaging or making paper or making journals.
This is a piece I have been plugging away at for awhile. I started by collaging tissue and rice papers onto the canvas support. Some of the papers were already painted and some were white or cream. While it is all still wet I like to introduce the paint [ink, watercolours] so it creeps into the papers creating cool mixtures and textures. Then I will let that dry and have an interesting surface to work on...
Close up.

lovely work Ellis
I like the process -- this is very interesting, liked noticing the lower left corner at the end, it was like a finding a wrapped treasure.
I know what you mean about needing a lot to work on and not knowing when it will all come together. My process is similar, although I do not have such a broad range of works. I have always enjoyed your paper works and adore the textures you achieve with the layering. This particular one is not an exception...you know I adore the colors.
I think this piece was well worth the wait!
This is lovely!
