Creepy Collage
To make these lively collages with a Hallowe’en theme, artist Louise Pasquill started by teaching us how to use the materials we need for this project: a palette of watercolour block paints, watercolour paper, soft (sable-like) brushes and water.
Firstly, we each took a small piece of white, textured watercolour paper. We learnt the wet-on-wet technique of watercolour painting.
To do this, we painted our paper with water, then added the wet paint to the wet paper, allowing the paint to flow through the water on the paper’s surface. This led to some beautiful patterns forming as the pigments bled together before our eyes.
Using a selection of seasonal templates, we then adopted the new watercolour technique “wet-on-wet” and applied it to each shape. When they were dry we cut them out.
Once all of our pieces were finished, we created a ghostly composition, surrounding a spooky, haunted Hallowe’en House.
The composition was enhanced by putting the cut-outs onto a folded sticky base, creating a low relief, between the black night sky and the hovering silhouettes. Brrr, it’s started to snow. Winter’s just around the corner of this Spooky Street scene. To paint the house, we used a white poster paint, keeping to a simple outline, so as not to detract our eyes from the vivid collage cut-outs, the main subjects of our paintings.
