Describe this Piece: This is perhaps my most popular and most publicized work. Created in 2010 and made up of around 5 layers of acrylic paint ranging from darkest bleu/turquoise to light blue and white. It is inspired by nature the artist & sculptor carving rocks and creating new forms over thousands of years.

Title of Artwork: Tulip Collage

Dimensions of Artwork: 11×15 inches

Medium: Watercolor Collage

Support: 3oo lb watercolor paper

Website: http://www.marthakisling.blogspot.com

Describe this Piece: I began this painting with watercolor on wet paper, then I collaged on hand painted tissue and rice papers. I then returned to the watercolor and used negative painting to define some of the tulips and leaves, added more collage, painted some more, more papers and so forth until I felt that the painting was finished. I have found that combining watercolor and collage can get your creative juices flowing and give a fresh new look to your paintings.
