Collage, Drawing & Painting- 365 creative challenge

the more i learn the less i know, this is probably the first thing i realised when i began art lessons.

it still applies today.......learning is a never ending journey. this challenge has led me to explore more about collage, & the more i learn the more i like it. 

so i have ventured further to creating a collage painting as part of my every  day creative challenge, & it took a lot of days, so many that i have lost count, i am no longer behind.

 i enjoyed it so much that i just kept going, layer upon layer. i began with pieces of magazine  pages in varying colours of green glued to an old acrylic on canvas ( see below in the second photo), progressed to an image of a child, added paint & gel mediums, more collage,  some stamped moulding gel, repeating the  layers to the stage where i think it is done ......detail in photos three & four....

...if you are interested in my inspiration for this painting  or would like to know more about it  let me know in the comments & i will post  the process in more detail.

& a couple more pages from my altered book : an upside down  drawing with a black artline 200, 0 .4 pen  washed with water.  

on this page a splash of acrylic paint on the bottom of the page & shapes cut from painted papers to make some flowers.
