This is the beginning of a new series I am starting using collage and carbon ink and sketching with a pointed kabob stick.  You get lots of variation in the lines of the sketch.  The collage is done with rice paper, tyvek paper, gesso which I stamp into for different textures and then acrylic paints. Most of the images will be done on 6" x 6" watercolor paper and then mounted on boards for hanging when I get to Houston.

Old Men

 
 
 
Here are two mixed media paintings that I have used  collage, acrylics and ink for the sketches.  Both are 9" x 12".  Just had fun trying to get all the "old  man" wrinkles in.
