This collage is part of my art journal. Playfully, I got to work with magazines and acrylic paint. This collage was inspired by the theme 'stripes'. The word stripes immediately made me think of the stripe pattern on zebras. And therefore also of Africa. After all, the zebra is an animal from central and southern Africa. This image is incredibly fun to combine with other images from my art journal album. So be sure to take a look in this album too https://www.werkaandemuur.nl/nl/shopalbum/Collages---Art-Journal-pagina-s/125804/71937 Creation process: On the background, I painted with acrylic paint in brown, green, blue and ochre on a black background. Over this, I used transparent gel to stick on various images from magazines, such as the zebra and the pattern in turquoise green. Over that, I stuck pieces of washi tape and used a black, white and gold marker to draw the. This allows the stripes of the zebra to continue in the stripes of the washi tape and make it one whole. This whole was then photographed and given a digital filter. This filter ensures that up close (if at a large size) the collage gives beautiful abstract surfaces and from afar (or in miniature) you can see the image in totality.
