paint skin collage

Jo Forrest January 28, 2023

Recycled paint skins, collage, acrylic paint, texture medium, on canvas. I’m still working on the background. I’ve had these for a while now. I keep the skins when I clean out my paint containers when they dry out. I hate wasting anything, and I like the way this looks.


A closer look.


The white paint skin cross shape at the center of the collage. I love the 3D shape, and the contrast with the red circle. I used Polyfilla for the background circle shape. Next time I go to the art supply store I’ll get some texture medium. I did have some with flakes in it, which I used on the circle in the bottom left hand side of the collage.


I added some more detail to the background. I’m going to do a layer of spray varnish maybe, then I think it’s finished. I could do small individual ones too. Add it to the list.
