Surrealist collage

Im calling this project Painting of Surrealist Collage because that is what the painting is of. The subject is animals based off of pictures I cut out of magazines. I chose to create this specific work because I liked that it is surreal. For materials I used paint. I used a variety of techniques including mixing paints to make specific colors. While creating this work I paid close attention to color and matching colors and I did this by trying to mix different colors to get a specific color. I wanted my artwork to look similar to the collage and I did that by first sketching in pencil to make sure that it was similar before painting. To add interest to my composition I used texture by layering the paint. I like the way it turned out and I am proud of the space part. However I struggled with the mountains and making the colors match. If I created another work like this I might not do an earth because that was difficult. My work shows that I learned how to mix colors.
