Thirty in Thirty Day 9 Cutout Landcape

This is another of the cutouts that I made while cutting a previous collage painting on cardboard. As you can see the paper was fraying in several spots.  

Like the idea of painting over paper and now looking over the process, I think I will continue investigating the process. Meanwhile, I was interested in reusing the cardboard for the 30 in 30.   Some of the sections being used as startups.

This turned into some kind of mountain scene. Tore away pieces of frayed paper and continued to color using my Caran d'Ache neocolor I crayons.  I did add a few highlights in oil and cold wax. Found that oils with wax would work nicely on these cutout sections.

Thirty in Thirty Day 8 Floating Leaves I

Oils on canvas covered cardboard, Done wet on wet with impasto paints, no medium. Used both brush and palette knife with this. Really enjoying the process of wet paints, still not in complete control.

Used a file from morguefile for my reference and cropped in 2 sections, this is the first.

Thirty in Thirty Day 7 Abstract Landscape

This is another cutout from a previous collage. Used my oil wax crayons, Caren d"ache neo color I, mainly because the oils didn't work well on the thin newsprint paper. May experiment with oils and cold wax on some others and see if it works.
