Lotus ACEO

watercolors, 2.5 x 3.5 in (Sold)

Experimental media for this one; sometimes a lot of different kinds of paper are collected while working in art--and some of them are small, as wide as a pencil (trimmed off paintings), others are bigger scraps left over from cutting an odd-sized piece of paper to a collection of standard sizes.

It was time to use all the scraps, no matter how small, and an ACEO seemed the perfect thing to try--used sketch paper formed a base for even smaller scraps to be pasted upon it like patchwork, some of them with different surface treatments (cold press/warm press) and thicknesses. A paper montage.

I quite like the effect.
