Surrealism Collage

This is a painting of a collage that I made to incorporate headwear. I chose a lot of skies with different values and different colors. I painted everything with acrylic paint and the pictures in the collage were cut from magazines. I used a lot of different colors in order for some places to look like they had shading and highlights. I blended some of the photos together while painting to make things more interesting. I changed things from my collage when I was painting. Some of the pictures I decided not to paint and others I decided that I would use them in more place than one. I used bright backgrounds behind darker forefront in order for things to stand out. I took photos that really interested me and ones that I thought were very pretty. Then I arranged them in a way that I felt looked nice and had good flow. If I were to change anything it would be to abstract my collage more instead of it being a grid like painting.
