Old World Map Collage
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this post
This collage was made from copies of explorer maps I found in an old textbook.
I created a collage on a Masonite panel, my goal being one of making the final product look aged, with a slight hint of color to the maps as if they had been hand tinted.
Which, in a sense, the were.
The entire surface of the completed collage is coated with a glossy acrylic finish.
One point of interest is that the backside of this painting has a small abstract painting on it. In the grand tradition of reusing or painting over old art, I recycled this masonite panel and worked on the opposite side of an old piece of art. In a sense, you get two paintings for the price of one.
Materials: Paper collage, acrylic paint, acrylic medium on .25" thick Masonite panel
Size: 6" X 8.75"
Other: Shipped without frame
Price: $40
Labels: collage, mixed media, ships
