I realised that I could try and paint on an A3 by combining 4 A5 pieces together. The seams aren’t too noticeable too. It was definitely freeing to paint on a larger surface. The process was more effortless on a bigger scale as well.
I also incorporates a little bit of collating by pasting in some magazine pages and brown paper before I painted the wash on top. I think this is an element that can be appreciated when looking close up. By looking at the painting without the final outline, we can see how the drawing on top truly frames and solidifies the work together.
