fortuneteller

 HELLO!

One day I thought that it might be a good idea to create a collage similar to Melancholy once again. By similar, I mean layering a paper with clipped parts on another paper (or cardboard) with press cuttings pasted on it. 

As for work from today's post I came up with a concept of a collage made on circular media (after among the sunflowers I wanted to do tondo work again) with a horoscope as a main theme. What's the reason for choosing this theme? I've simply gathered lots of cuttings from horoscopes because I saw in them the potential for an interesting dada poem, or collage. I chose the collage option.

So, let's begin.

So, after I prepared a paper circle, and also a cardboard circle, I started drawing a silhouette of female fortuneteller with her crystal ball on the paper one. Above you can see a first draft.

 HELLO!

Honestly I've never got a chance to create something on a circular medium. 

And I was really curious how will I deal with that.

So it became my aim - a tondo. Tondo is a term for a work of art created on a circular medium.

And today's the chance to show how I dealt with this chalenge.

I was wondering a bit about what I want to draw, or paint on a circular paper. I came up with an idea of a romance between an acrylic paint and a black pen. It's not the first time I'm doing this kind of experiment (previous works: lost in the dream, At first sight?).

Below you can see the net result of my work.
