Hillside Horse Magazine Collage

I spotted this beautiful horse while visiting the Hillside animal sanctuary when we were on holiday at nearby Cromer.  This is an A3 magazine collage, no paint used.

It was a lovely sunny day and the field was full of lovely daisies which I was keen to include.

I decided to use an reclaimed frome for this piece and was so pleased with the match!

Magazine Collage Commission 'Reed Family'

This A2 magazine collage commission was intended to be a Christmas gift but unfortunately the photographs weren't given to me in time. The receiver was thrilled to receive a bonus Christmas gift in January instead!

Inspired by my 'For Kicks' collage, it was wonderful to work on another autumnal piece. The technique lends it'self beautifully when creating the effect of fallen leaves.

The composition was made up of several photographs, making the required changes to clothing and placement.  The coat was changed on the son and the figures arranged altogether. This was a favourite local walk so it was important the details in the surrounding were accurate.

Magazine Collage Commission 'Horses'

Along side the figurative pieces I have begun to get requests for landscapes and animals. This magazine collage is made entirely of ripped and cut magazines on recycled board using non-toxix adhesives. This piece was completed last summer but not gifted until Christmas, I cn now finally share it with you!

I really loved the colours in the original and tried to capture the soft tones. I was able to find colours quite similar to the original and by tearing the paper for the majority of the piece I was able to retain the softness as well.

The original image was quite small but I was provided with other images which helped me to get some of the small details correct.
