Tag #14 and Paper Collage

I created this collage in a zoom class organized by Tigard Public Library and Make It Work LA.  There were many themes we could pick and I choose abstract and plants.  Henri Matisse is a favorite artist and this collage has a Matisse feel. 

 I first painted a piece of watercolor paper with watercolor in a random pattern.  Let that dry.  I cut random shapes out of text weight color paper.  I adhered the shapes to the watercolor paper.  Let dry.  

To create the tag, I located an 8-inch by 4-inch section of the collage and made it into the tag for January 14th.
