Lovely painting Rebecca and an ingenious use of the wooden box lids as a support. I do like the lovely strong colours you choose for your paintings.

I am pleased you like it Julie, i found the oil bars very difficult because they are so soft, its like working with coloured soft butter. Plus it takes weeks to dry! oil is no good for me as i am too fast :-p i also save cardboard that comes with our pack of cartons of milk, the sheets of A5 cardboard is used as a divider, so i put gesso on it and use that too :-) you may remember a childrens art programme called Art Attack with Neil Buccanan it was years back but is repeated still, well he always re-used household items and created his art attacks from them. So i was inspired and now i cannot throw anything away :-p

I think that is great Rebecca - there is something even more satisfying about using recycled materials in your artwork. I really enjoy combining collage with paint - and love tearing up newspapers, magazines and tissue paper.

I agree with you Julie, ripping things up is brilliant :-p collage and paint is good, excellent. Thank you for looking and commenting :-)
