Painting of Surrealist Collage

This is my Surrealist collage along with my matching painting. For this college part of this project we found magazine clippings and wallpaper samples that we found interesting and glued them onto a paper. We then used acrylic paints (which we mixed from the primary colors we had) on a canvas paper and painted what we saw on the original. I chose to organize my college as it is because I thought all the contrasting colors went well together and I feel like it has an earthy feel with the snake and nature that is incorporated. My project evolved a lot while I was making it because the background color was very hard to create and I wasn't happy with it and I definitely think it could improve still.
